Flying Does Not Increase Risk for Heart-Health Patients
One of the biggest worries for anyone who has recently had any sort of health issue from pregnancy to post-op surgery is, knowing if and when it is safe to fly. But that worry is one thing people who suffer from some cardiovascular diseases can check off the list. According to a recent study by a U.K. panel, “Air travel isn’t necessarily dangerous for people with some heart conditions.”
It is still recommended that patients with seriously high-risk wait until their condition is fully stable, but low-risk patients are OK to fly just three days after suffering from a heart attack. People are afraid that the pressurization in the cabin can cause heart conditions to worsen; the panel found that there is a bigger risk of heart attack before you fly, from the anxiety of traveling, anger due to delays, exertion from carrying luggage and fear of flying.
