Question 5

what will help me relax when flying?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Many use alcohol (like a glass of wine) to relax while flying. Some of my anxious patients request drugs like xanax (alprazolam) or Lorazepam to take when flying. Herbs like holy basil & valerian are good natural alternatives, as is the Amino Acid l-theanine. I like listening to music on my ipod. Bringing a good book to read can help too, and many like to watch movies on their tablets. Don't forget to breathe!

Question 9

what are some tips for flying with my baby?

Accepted Answer

Relax: Not stressing the flight is probably the best tip.  Most of the time, the flight is uneventful and the infant does wonderfully.  Sometimes infants do experience pain with take offs and landings as pressure in the middle ear changes.  Having your infant sucking on something (nursing, bottle feeding or using a nipple) during take off and landings often alleviates the pain.  Enjoy your flight!

Question 10

who needs medical clearance in order to fly?

Accepted Answer

Multiple.: Patients that require oxygen. Patients with risk factors for clots in the legs or lungs. Pts who may have active infectious disasses who can transmitt the disease in small compartments like airplanes.  Long flies or long drives require everybody to move the legs ( calves) often. Some pts may get Lovenox (enoxaparin) injection before traveling if high risk for clots. Pregnant women need to be cleared.Part 2.
