Is A Mild Cardiac Arrest Patient Recommended To Travel By Flight?

Hello doctors

My brother in law suffered a mild cardiac arrest this afternoon in Muscat . He plans to travel to Bangalore late night flight. The flight time is 3 hours. Is it advisable for him to travel

I talked to him and he appears very normal. You help is much appreciated.

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNDERSTAND THAT HE MIGHT FEEL BETTER TRAVELLIN AT HIS HOME..

BUT HE CAN TRAVEL ONLY AFTER RECOVERY FROM THE ATTACK AND CONSULTATION BY THE PHYSICIAN THERE

THE PHYSICIAN WILL GO FOR ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND ECG AND DEPENDING ON THE FINDINGS AND CLINICAL STATUS WILL ADVISE YOU IF HE COULD TRAVEL

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
