A member asked:
Is it possible for me to fly with vertigo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but cautiously: Assuming that vertigo is not constant and severe, you could take dramamine (dimenhydrinate) or Meclizine tablets prior to flight and you should most likely be asymptomatic during flight. Scopolamine patches are also used for flight.
