Flying with an ascending aortic aneurism
Aortic Aneurysms | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (23)Comment receiving replies
Hi Billo327. So have you ever had any cardiac related symptoms during flight or upon landing? I have cardiac symptoms of unexplained origin during decent, and upon landing. They were severe with my most recent flight. I recovered after three days. My aneurysm is stable at 4.3. Has anyone else experienced this, or something similar? I am interested in Billo327's question because I love flying, and now I am very very apprehensive about doing it. Thanks for the question Billo327.

I have just been diagnosed with a 3.9 ascending aortic aneurysm and leaving in 5 days for a Cardiology appointment. Mine was diagnosed after having left sided chest pain for 3 days with a URI. I noticed that my burning pain increased to feeling like I had bad indigestion during my flight home from Poland. No one has mentioned anything about a flight risk. I had extensive cardiac testing 3 years ago after I developed peritonitis from the COVID19 vaccine, and it wasn't there. I still have symptomatic chest pain in which I wear a low dose Nitro patch. So, I am worried about it.

I would check with your physician or cardiologist. Best to be safe with an eased mind.
