Why do I need travel insurance for an overactive thyroid?

Like any pre-existing medical condition, it’s important to declare and cover your overactive thyroid on your travel insurance. Just in case the worst happens when you’re away. That way, you’ve got a helping hand when you need it most.

Things go wrong on holiday more often than you might realise.

These problems can vary from a lost passport or stolen luggage, to needing emergency medical assistance. Whatever the unexpected, having proper travel insurance can not only save you the worry, but reduce the strain on your life savings too.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

"Having to cancel my annual holiday 8 days before travelling last year, due to an injury, was frustrating but Staysure helped me reclaim most of the expense on my basic insurance. This year I have upped the premium with the help of an advisor - all the options detailed, so I have been able to choose what is right for me."

People also asked

If you’re awaiting treatment or surgery for your overactive thyroid, or are awaiting any further investigations, we can still offer you cover but wouldn’t be able to cover your pre-existing medical conditions, including your overactive thyroid.

We would still be able to cover you for other accidents and medical emergencies not related to your overactive thyroid or any other declared pre-existing conditions (as well as things like lost baggage and delays.)

You should be able to fly safely when living with an overactive thyroid as long as you have got the go-ahead from your doctor that you’re fit to travel. Talking to your doctor about your travel plans is important. Especially if you’re worried about the effects of air travel.

We’ll need to know you’re fit to travel before we can offer you cover.

Your doctor may advise that you walk around as much as possible during your travels. Long periods of sitting can increase the chance of blood clots, so try avoiding too much inactivity by booking an aisle seat on the plane which could help you to have frequent walking breaks.

It’s always worth speaking with your medical professional as they’ll be able to tailor advice to your medical history.

It is also worth noting that airports often have radiation detectors in place. If you have had radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment for your overactive thyroid, these detectors can be set off for weeks or even months after your treatment. It may put you at ease to travel with a doctor’s note explaining your situation, to make your travels that bit easier.
