Traveling with heart problems?

Question

I am wanting to travel from the U.S. to Portugal for a visit. But, I have heart problems. If I run out of my prescriptions while I am there will there be any way to get more? I can only get one refill of each at a time. If I told my doctor or Pharmacist that I was traveling abroad then do you think that they would let me get more prescriptions all at once? Do they do that? Also, does anyone know what would happen if something went wrong with my heart while I was there? I have heard bad things about their health-care system...so, would I be able to get treatment? I am actually healthy and in very good physical shape so it's not likey, but I have a degenerative heart disease and I have already had open heart surgery (triple by-pass). So, I have to consider these things ahead of time.

Answer 1

No one will answer you I guess. So, I suggest that you just stop taking some of your medicines until you have enough of each to get all of your prescriptions at the same time. Then you can just fill all your prescriptions at once and then travel without worrying about it. Your not gonna die anyway...it's the easiest way.
