It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You should consult the doctor who treated you as s/he knows more about your health. It is likely that it is safe for you to fly if you are able to carry out your daily activities without undue difficulty. Wish you good health!
