My husband has just been diagnosed with. An echocardiogram result diagnosis. The results were phoned to us and an appointment was scheduled for 4/2 to see a cardiologist. The woman who called said with the results said. Your heart is healthy and numbers say its working well. You have what is called Aortic Stenosis usually the treatment for this is surgery. Do not lift anything that would cause you to hold your breath and if you get constipated call and we ll prescribe something so you do not strain and hold your breath. We are to leave for Ecuador 3/16 and he has made an appointment with the cardiologist isn t until after we return. is it okay for him to fly? We have flights from northern us to Miami then Miami to Ecuador and 4 flights in Ecuador. His symptoms are nonexistent. This procedure was done at the request of his VA doctor. I m concerned and he is not.
Hi, Welcome. If he has no symptoms and heart function is normal surgery is generally not recommended. So yes he can travel by air but yes preferably he should not do heavy exercise or lift heavy object. For further treatment plan kindly consultant your cardiologist soon. If possible send me the echo report of his. Thanks and take care
