My mom is 56 yrsold she has obstructivesleepapnea she gonna have 17hrs flight journey in next few weeks wil she face any breathing prob during travel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If she sleeps without her positive pressure mask she could have serious oxygen desaturation while asleep. I recommend that she ask her pulmonologist for advice about whether she should take such a prolonged flight or how to safely manage it.
