Can One Travel For 18 Hours After Suffering A Stroke?
my mother had a stroke last year, she can t walk, cries a lot. She s taking sleeping and calming medication. I want to bring her to U.S. The question is can she take a 18 hours flight from Manila to New York. I m afraid of her health situation. Not sure if she s fit to travel that long. Thanks for any advice. YYYY@YYYY

One year old stroke case usually there should not be any issue in travel, but before travel for few days check her blood pressure regularly. And if it's stable for a week at least then u can plan the travel, keep some body with her for moral and emotional support too. Take care
