A member asked:

Having atrial fibrillation , i do not feel fast heart beat or shortness of breath , due to medication. would air travel for 6 hours be a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

C Below: You have asymptomatic Afib. Depending on your CHADS2 Score or CHADSVASC you should be at least on Aspirin. My guess is that you likely should be on Warfarin also. - Air travel is as safe as staying at home watching a TV Show. What is important is your antiplatelt therapy or anticoagulation as needed.
