just had my first experience with vertigo. i will be flying on a may 10 is that safe ?

Question

Is it safe to fly if I have an inner ear problem that sometimes can cause dizziness?

Answer 1

Should be fine: The triggers for vertigo are rarely obvious. I hope you have seen an ENT specialist for advice and analysis. If you happen to get vertigo in the airplane, you will be strapped in your seat anyway and it will pass. You might try Meclizine 25 mg prior to the flight as a precaution (this is an over the counter product).

Answer 2

REGARDLESS, YOU : Should have a flu shot every year.

Answer 3

Confusing question: It is certainly worthwhile to get a flu shot yearly, since the strains change & the disease can be deadly. If you live in any housing setting where there are other persons involved, there will often be a flu shot requirement to protect both you, the staff and other residents. You could also live elsewhere.

Answer 4

Depends: If a patient has had surgery, they will most generally form adhesions. This is very true for women who've had cesarean delivery. If the goal is pain reduction, it may be worth have laparoscopy, but if just curious, may not be worth the risk involved having surgery.

Answer 5

Only, if painful: Adhesions form from surgery whereby intra-abdominal structures "stick to each other" like a crackerjack box with moisture in it. Unless, there is severe pain or movement is restricted, then undergoing another surgical procedure "to check for adhesions" can sometimes only cause more adhesions.

Answer 6

Probably yes: You should have had blood work to see if there is a fixable hormonal reason why you are skipping your periods. In general the pill is an excellent and safe way to regulate your periods. I recommend either asking more questions (maybe going with a list or a friend) so you understand your treatment better. It is unusual to do a D&C for a "stuck" period. Usually that can be treated with medicine.

Answer 7

Nonspecific: T wave inversion may be part of a normal ekg and has to interpreted by a doctor. Inverted t wave is normal in iii and sometimes other leads without meaning anything alarming. Have the doctor let you know what they think. The ekg interpretation can change with age as well so you need expertise to read them at this age.

Answer 8

Varies: With the size and location of the abscess from a few days to 14 days and whether it was adequately drianed and whether there is an associated fistula. It definitely needs follow up if not resolved in a reasonable time.
