Can anyone help i need holiday insurance, i am having trouble finding one that is reasonable and will cover Angina  what a nightmare.  I am beginning to feel like a freak  :'(  when i mention my complaint, how unfair to discriminate against age also, or is it just me feeling sorry for myself. :(

you could try age concern (yes I know you're not old but they're aimed at people over 55!) - they do travel insurance - link is http://www.ageconcern.org.uk/AgeConcern/Documents/Travel_Insurance.pdf

or the British Heart Foundation has a list of insurance companies to try

http://www.bhf.org.uk/questions/index.asp?secondlevel=1170&thirdlevel=1368&artID=6364#6367

we got insurance last year through M&S after finding their details on the BHF site, my partner had a heart scare and is on beta blockers and statins now but M&S were fine about it and didn't insist on medical screening.

hope that helps and have a good break

hello rosebud, if you are over 50 try http://www.saga.co.uk/finance/travelinsurance/, my 83 year old friend has just been to New Zealand with 2 replacement knees and speaks highly of Saga. Good luck! :)

I half caught an item about this very issue on Radio 4 a while back.  It might have been You and Yours or Money Box, not sure.  Might be worth a search on their website?

Try www.insureandgo.com Ive used them a lot and they've been very reasonable. My daughter is diabetic and there have been no problems with that and my mother is over 65 and that was fine as well.
