Patient's question:
Mom has high blood pressure, and it's quite serious. However, I want to take her on a trip, which requires several flights. Can Mom do it? I'm afraid it might harm her and cause her pain. So, I wanted to ask everyone...Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, this condition can fly on an airplane, rather than being a gliding contraindication, and there is no need to worry. However, it is usually necessary to take medication based on your own blood pressure level and actively use antihypertensive drugs to treat it, so as to reduce your blood pressure to as close to normal as possible. If you do not control it, gliding under high blood pressure may cause uncomfortable symptoms, and even lead to high blood pressure, resulting in headaches, nausea, and vomiting, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to actively control blood pressure as much as possible for greater safety.
