AHA Volunteer Moderator Michael C,You could ask your doctor about flying. I flew for the first time since my 2 attacks, 1 quad bypass then a stent 3 months later. He said it should NOT be a problem. I have venous insufficiency in my legs and he said to just get up and move around some. but as for my heart it proved to be no problem. Are you on aspirin or a thinner of some type? that may help but again, ask your doctor. I also carry my little bottle of buddies (nitro) but didn't need them. Good luck and call your doc! Mike

Kimhudd,Mike. . .thank you for sharing with me. I do take aspirin at this time, but the major blood thinner I only had to take for one year. I carry my nitro, too. It's become my best friend. I will talk to my doc as soon as I get one. The hubby and I just moved from Northwest Arkansas to Northfield, Minnesota for a wonderful job opportunity . I'll be making an appointment tomorrow. You've given me good things to think about, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
