Question
Can brain edema patients fly on planes?
Answer
Based on your description, you have a history of brain edema for over a decade, and your condition has been stable and without any abnormalities since your surgery. However, since the cabin pressure increases during flight at high altitudes, this may exert certain pressure on your body. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor before planning to fly to ensure safety. Additionally, if you decide to fly, stay alert during the flight and monitor your own physical condition; if you experience any discomfort, notify the crew immediately.
