When patients with heart disease travel, as long as the physical condition is good, there is no obvious obstacle to heart function, and there is no sudden heart attack symptoms of heart disease, they can fly. It is important to note that we must carry relevant medications, carry simple medical equipment, and choose large and medium-sized airplanes.
1, to find out whether the condition is stable, patients need to be observed for a period of time. If they plan to fly remotely, they need to start three months before the flight to closely observe the changes in heart disease and whether there are symptoms of discomfort such as dizziness and angina. If there are uncomfortable symptoms, they need to postpone the journey and get prompt treatment. At the same time, the first three months of travel should pay attention to a light diet, less salt, less spicy and other stimulating foods to ensure that the condition is stable and does not recur.
2, prepare first aid drugs and simple medical equipment: patients should prepare first aid drugs and simple equipment before traveling. First aid medication can be swallowed during angina attacks and save lives at critical moments. Also, carry a blood pressure meter and a stethoscope. If an accident occurs, you can immediately find out whether basic vital signs such as blood pressure and heartbeat are stable, providing a basis for first aid. Large and medium-sized cabins are spacious, with comfortable seats, stable flight speeds, low noise, and less likely to be disturbed. For heart patients, the shortened flight time prevents travel fatigue and discomfort, thus reducing the incentive for heart attacks.
3, pay attention to eliminate anxiety during flight delays, which is often the main factor leading to arrhythmia. While waiting for the airplane, pay attention to choose a location where the crowd is quiet and the air flows, and take care not to smoke. If you have the opportunity and conditions, you can properly absorb oxygen. Before boarding the airplane, you may selectively take anti-motion sickness medication or sedative medication. During takeoff and landing, take care to lift your lower limbs and lean back slightly, keep your breathing steady and your whole body relaxed. Pay attention to proper drinking water on the airplane to keep your body hydrated.
4. When the airplane takes off and lands, pay attention to lifting the lower limbs, tilting slightly backward, keeping breathing steadily and relaxing the whole body. Pay attention to proper drinking water on the airplane to keep your body hydrated. If you feel uncomfortable, pay attention not to move, stay calm, take deep breaths, and prepare relevant medications. If you have symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, etc., you should take emergency medication immediately. On the other hand, you should report to the crew and seek help in time. If necessary, the crew will take emergency measures.
