Is Flying Safe After Being Diagnosed With Pericarditis?
my daughter who is a university student in France was diagnosed with pericarditis today. She has chest pain , pulse over 100, fever and some shortness of breath when walking. She wants to come home (there is a week's break next week). She will be travelling by plane but my husband feels it would be better for us to drive down to the South of France (Montpellier) and bring her home by car. She is taking aspirin 1000 mg daily. she is seeing a cariologist tomorrow and will ask for a letter giving permission to travel but I think it will be too tiring is car travel (a long drive) the preferable option?

Hi,
pericarditis is inflammation of pericardium. once treated, it's relatively a benign condition. take opinion of your cardiologist as it would be req for her to travel but I feel it is safe to travel by flight.
wish you best of health. if you need any other help, Pls let me know.
