April Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have been checking things out and it seems to be ok to fly after a Non-Aneurysm SAH ?? It will be be almost 3 months before we leave. Is it ok?? I see the hospital on Friday for my one month check up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mario Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 We can't answer that question as each person is different. Ask the doctor on Friday who will be able to give you a definite answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna79 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 April, I cannot say how long it is until you can fly, Like Penny has said but what I do know is it took me 5 years to get my nerves under control before I flew again.... When I did I loved it x x Think I felt better than others hehe.... My ears were fine and my HEAD lol which for some reason I thought would explode from pressure ( mind the expression) .. But please speak to the doctor on Friday, Each one of us are different x x x ALL special but different hehe Lots Love Donna xxxxxxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks and of course must see what they say! I am nervous about everything now so one more event does not matter. Just hope they say yes and then I can rest for a few months to get my nerves under control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpaggett Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 As the others are saying ask, but realize that the option to fly is different from actually flying. I had great anxiety over many things at first and it made things impossible to do that were out of the ordinary. There is a loss of control issue that a flight might trigger. Put yourself in a totally new situation and see how you react. If your fine there, you'll probably be fine in flight. Have a good trip! ~Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Is it safe for me to fly?Flying is perfectly safe after a subarachnoid haemorrhage; however, you are unlikely to feel physically well enough to fly within the first couple of months of recovery. You may find the journey more tiring than previously, and it may take you slightly longer to recover in the first year or so, but it will not cause you any problems specific to the subarachnoid haemorrhage. Pilot's licences will need to be reviewed.

April Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I had my 1 month hospital follow up with my neurosurgeon. After another CT scan #5 she said it all looks good. Yes I can fly and it really is about my Blood Pressure and keeping that under control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
