1 hr left to go on the flight prior to descent and I started getting right leg pain and strange shortness of breath. Thought it was just cramps from being stuck in the seat so long. Once on the ground and walking.... felt much better but sweat like crazy. For the next few days was extremely tired and had a DVT in one leg first night home after 4 hrs sleep. Went to urgent care to get checked out a few days later after leg had reduced to normal. 5 mins in and they sent me to ER and tests for 12 hrs. Not wanting to fly for sure until my next test EOM. Something on that flight happened to change my energy levels, etc.

Hi Penalty Box! Thank you for your reply and the details. Is your EOM a test for myocarditis? Was your DVT part of that process. I hope you get good results with your testing, and I would certainly be apprehensive about flying after that experience. Your aneurysm sounds like it grew quickly. Your vascular tone could be a player in both your aneurysm and your DVT, then affected by the pressure changes in the plane. Hopefully you got, or are getting the genetic testing for the connective tissue disorders associated with aneurysms, and the cardiac CT (I cant remember its proper name) to rule out vessel changes in other areas of your body. Good luck Penalty Box, wear your compression stockings, act immediately if you have symptoms like those of the DVT, pain, sweating, or shortness of breath. I personally have a plan B in my pocket with our upcoming trip. We plan to drive if I show changes on my upcoming echo. Be safe!!!!
