Planning holidays can be generally quite a stressful work, but for those with a health condition, such as heart disease or diabetes, it would come up with few challenges. This never means that you have to limit your travel.
Dr. Gladys VelardeTrusted Source, a volunteer with the American Heart Association (AHA) and a professor of medicine at the University of Florida in Jacksonville, shared in a news release that, “[Traveling is] not always that simple for people who have chronic health conditions that require multiple medications or special medical equipment"
While “every individual’s condition is unique, and you’ll want to tailor your travel plans to your specific needs,” said Velarde, “by taking a little time now to plan and prepare, you can enjoy your holiday or vacation.”
The American Heart Association gives the following tips so as to reduce the stress out of travelling for people with medical conditions:
Make sure to check in with your healthcare professional
Label and organise your medications
Plan on transporting medical devices
Coordinate your care at your destination
