Brief Answer:
Anemia and clearance to fly
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have been diagnosed with anemia and started on iron supplementation. It will take several weeks before your blood counts get back to normal. In the mean time you will be able to fly. I do recommend that you walk and move your legs while flying because the biggest risk during flying is blood clots in the legs. Moving and walking in the aisles while flying will help reduce that risk.
