Was diagnosed with a dvt behind knee in mid may. currently on bloodthinners till sept, is it safe to do domestic flights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, in DVT control : Actually it is safe to Flight even with DVT under treatment; but only when it is well controlled; and your bloodthinners and/or treatment its not too invasive; and of course you need not to use any kind of adrenergic stimulators including tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea or any other nervous system stimulant such as drugs. In case you are an stimulant user then the risk of having an stroke its high
