Is It Safe For Person With Asd Closure To Fly Frequently?

hi...33 year old female...had asd closure in late march. on sotalol for palpitations (tachycardia - most likely caused by device placement). I've been cleared to discontinue sotalol in 2 months. my question is --is it ok to take frequent flights? about 3-4hrs each. I have noticed my feet swell after long flights. i had a check up last week and i'm doing "well" otherwise.

HI
Well come to HCM
The ASD closure operation is not such cardiac condition where the restriction of travelling by air is not advisable, you can travel by air and this is nothing to worry nor this would cause any thing wrong, hope this information helps.
