Can I Fly With A Concussion To Head?
I fell down the stairs 12 days ago and suffered a concussion. I worked from home the first week and then went to the office this week. I feel OK except for my headaches in the area where I hit my head but it is under control with ibupropen. I have to fly for work on Wednesday as I am running a meeting and my primary said that I might not want to fly. She said that she would have to advise against it but the Dr at the ER told me that I could resume my activities after a couple days of rest.

Hi dear.Thanks for writing on HCM.
If you the injury is superficial affecting the soft tissues of scalp then this does not affect your travel.But is the brain is affected leading to loss of consciousness (mild or severe) I were not advise till you become stabilized.Hope this answers your query.
