Does Flying increase stroke risk?

Air travel increases the risk of developing blood clots in the veins of the legs, which can then enter the bloodstream and block an artery in the lungs, a condition called pulmonary embolism. In some cases, the opening can allow the blood clot to enter the arteries of the brain, causing a stroke.

Can I fly while on blood thinners?

Car or plane trips can raise DVT risk, because you’re inactive for long periods of time. Taking a blood thinner makes it less likely that you’ll get a clot, but “it’s still smart to get up and move around every hour or two,” Dr. Zimring says.

Is it safe to fly after a mini stroke?

Flying After a TIA or a Stroke As it turns out, a history of stroke does not pose danger to the brain during an airline flight, and therefore, a past stroke is not a contraindication to flying on an airplane as a passenger. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a mini-stroke that resolves without permanent brain damage.

Is flying safe after a TIA?

The NHS and the Stroke Association advised stroke survivors to not fly for two weeks. In more severe cases, patients may have to avoid flying for three months. In the case of a ‘mini-stroke’ or Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA), you may be able to fly after 10 days as long as you have made a full recovery.

Does a TIA show up on an MRI scan?

After a TIA, a CT or MRI is done to rule out a stroke or other causes for your symptoms. A TIA cannot be seen on a CT or MRI, as opposed to a stroke, where changes may be seen on these scans.

What is the prognosis for TIA?

About one-third of those who have a TIA will have an acute stroke some time in the future. Many strokes can be prevented by heeding the warning signs of TIAs and treating underlying risk factors.

How do you prevent a second TIA?
