Commercial airlines have pressurized cabins, and personally, I would encourage you to enjoy your life and travel if you feel up to it. Cannot predict when or if you will have additional bleeding as this is indeed part of amyloid angiomatosis. Just to be safe, have your neurologist contact a stroke specialist at your destination prior to the flight.
