A member asked:

I have intermittent afib and want to know if i should take more than low dose aspirin before flying.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Atrial fibrillation: the reason for the a-fib should be investigated, a-fib can lead clot formation with the atrium and clot embolism leading to a stroke, aspirin alone may not be sufficient, see a doctor for further evaluation
