Contact your airline and your GP about establishing whether you’re fit to fly  \nFlying with a heart condition: According to the British Cardiovascular Society guidelines, most people with a heart condition can fly safely, but this varies based on severity of condition. Contact your airline and your GP or specialist about establishing whether you’re fit to fly.  \nFlying with angina: Provided symptoms are under control by medication, angina should not be a problem on board an aircraft. However, if you get chest pain while at rest (so-called unstable angina), you may not be able to fly. Contact your airline and your GP about establishing whether you’re fit to fly.  \nFlying after a heart attack: You may be able to travel after 7 to 10 days, provided there are no complications. Always check with your specialist before  \nbooking a flight.  \nFlying after heart failure: Flying after heart failure Provided symptoms are under control, heart failureshould not be a problem in flight. However, if you have chest pain while at rest you may not be able to fly. Contact your airline and your GP about establishing whether you’re fit to fly.  \nFlying with a pacemaker: Should not cause problems for travelling by air. However, pacemakers can sometimes set off airport security alarms so be prepared with a letter from your doctor.  \nFlying after heart surgery: Advisable not to fly for at least 10-14 days after bypass grafting or other heart or chest surgery and until you are able to manage normal day-to-day activities. However, if you've had an angioplasty  \n(or other procedure which doesn't involve open surgery) you may be fit to fly  \nfrom 3 days after the procedure, as long as your specialist gives the okay.  \nFlying with high blood pressure: Flying with high blood pressure High blood pressure should not be affected by air travel, but it is advisable to only travel when your blood pressure is controlled. Find out more from our article on travelling with high blood pressure.  \nFlying with asthma: Those with asthma should not have issues with flying, though it is advisable to always carry any medication such as an inhaler in your hand luggage. You can find out more about travelling with asthma from our article.  \nFlying with a broken bone: Because of the risk of swelling inside a cast, many airlines choose to restrict flying during the first 24-48 hours after a cast has been fitted. If you do decide to travel before that time period has elapsed you can expect the airline to require your cast to be split along the full length to prevent any pressure build-up impacting your circulation. Having a letter containing the date & time the cast was fitted will be helpful.  \nFlying with diabetes: Air travel should not pose significant problems for travelers with well-controlled diabetes. However, it's important to check in advance what other precautions you need.  \nFlying with ear, nose, throat problems: Active middle-ear infections, effusions, or recent ear surgery are contra-indications to flying unless the patient is deemed fit to fly by an ear, nose and throat (ENT)  \nspecialist.","cbCaipsEMCkJqqPr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipsEMCkJqqPr","pdf",128287,"English","# FIT TO FLY CERTIFICATE\n## Flying while recovering from surgery\n## Flying with heart conditions\n## Flying with other health conditions","[{\"question\":\"What should you do before flying while recovering from surgery?\",\"answer\":\"Safety depends on the severity of the surgery.
