When is a safe time to go on an airplane after having a heart attack?
Hello all, back in January of 2018 I suffered a major heart attack and have recovered almost entirely. I have been invited to go to my granddaughter's wedding in Europe but am worried of flying because of my heart attack. Is it safe to go on an airplane after a heart attack?

Hi Ivan, I think it definitely depends on the nature and type of your heart attack. If your heart attack was due to blood clotting or high blood pressure I would make sure to consult with a doctor before going, just in case. However, in general, I think that flying after a couple of months should be fine. But there is no harm in asking your doctor, you do not want to have any complications or another heart attack right before your daughter's wedding!
