Is It Safe To Fly While On Medication For Irregular Heartbeats?

I am a 41 yr old female, I have experienced irregular fast heartbeats for about 10 yrs, I went into AF last friday with a rate of around 178, I was given drugs to slow the heart down but only dropped to a minimum of 90 and above and still irregular, so a cardioversion was given, everything has gone back to normal and now on clopidogrel 75mg and awaiting an Echo, is it still safe to fly?

Hi,
Ya, its safe to fly, once you are fully evaluated after echo.
Just always carry your medication and have it regularly.
