I was born with a small 'hole in my heart'. My dad bought me H&S plan when i was a kid and it had exclusion of "all disorder of the heart". Now that i am taking over my plans from him, i am wondering if the exclusion can be removed. I used to go for yearly check-ups at a hospital but have since been discharged. I am not on any medications as well.

Good luck!

Unlikely. If you currently have a H&S plan, I would stick to it. Heart conditions are not easy to get covered for, and most insurers generally exclude congenital conditions.
