Can I Take A Flight When Suffering From Anteroseptal Myocardial Damage?

My husband had his ECG recently, and the result says Anteroseptal Myocardial Damage. His Doctor adviced him to cancel his flight to the Philippines. His doctor adviced him to see a Cardio Specialist after 4 weeks. why it takes too long to see a cardio specialist, why not right away or the next day?

Hi There

I've read your query and understanding your concern.

I would like to tell you consulting a cardiologist is very important if ECG is saying antreoseptal myocardial damage. If It's a new changes in ECG then it's emergency and cardiologist should see you immediately. If these are old one then you can wait to see him but he should start taking baby Asprin by the time.

You should also get his echocardiography done to check his heart function and to asses damaged area of the heart that will be helpful in further treatment. You can also go to emergency with chest pain to get immediate attention.

Reschedule your plan for Philippines and first get you heart checkup done .

Hopefully I answered all your queries.
Wish You Good Luck
