Polyarteritis Nodosa Is It Safe For My Husband To Travel On A 5 Hour Flight?

Is it safe for my husband to travel on a 5 hour flight? - polyarteritis nodosa

My husband suffers with polyarteritis nodosa, Osteoperiosis, arthritis, herniated disk, and 50-85% blocked arteries in both legs from the knees, you'd be good in a flight of 5 hours?

The first answer to your family doctor who knows their pain better than to ask us.

The second answer is that everything is connected in life risk, but some risks are bigger than others. With all these evils, especially the problem of the arteries, without a doubt his health will deteriorate in the coming years, rather than improve it? When this happens, and if this trip is really important for him personally, perhaps now is a better option is to wait while their health is worse? I think it depends on the reasons for the trip and if the risk is justified.

First, you must tell your doctor, a medical certificate, he is able, without a certificate would not travel on the airline to take him in this state ... Second, if the doctor issuing the certificate, you must notify the company of your problem and recommend the type of support you need at the airport, and every necessary assistance for the delivery to and from the health insurance aircraft.Make a certified check in and without the airline the right to refuse carriage. Finally, make sure you have adequate insurance, and if you through an agent, you should be with the insurance, is its current state or insurance is void.

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are not available cons-trip air, but the fact that also needs to ask, he / she thinks you have any concerns should be discussed with your doctor. Another problem could be insurance for vacation. If not disclose pre-existing conditions with your insurance company, which is any claim that might be valid and do not even think you of providing insurance to the list of problems.

As everyone has said, go to your doctor who can help him better. When you say, well, it is also able to obtain additional information about the safety of her husband to support, as the use of anti - embolic low and exercises as possible prior to the formation of blood clots (eg, PST). I hope it works for you!

I asked first whether they would be comfortable sitting in the airplane room for 5 hours. Yes, you can get up and go into the air, but you have to put in his shoes while boarding the taxi and take-off .... can be set up on 90 minutes when the flight is delayed on the taxi-way.

If comfort is correct, then ask your doctor. There are too many on the list to receive an answer from a random person here who does not know all the details of your particular situation.

Nothing in life is "safe" for all of us. So the real question is the extent of the danger and how to have them compared with the advantage.

For advice on the first, an open conversation with your doctor is required. The latter can evaluate only you and your spouse.

Supported. Consult a doctor. This issue is too important to give people at random on the Internet, the reliance on the correct answer.

Ask your doctor to be sure, the people here will say "yes" only 2 points. Remember to take the advice from a reliable source:)
