A member asked:
Can i travel on airplane having heart problem valve leakage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually but: You should review this with your doctors. For the most part valve disorders don't necessarily prevent you from traveling on a plane unless it is compromising the oxygenation of your blood - remember that's quite uncommon.
