Is It Safe To Fly A Week After Having Cardiac Arrest?
i suffered a cardiac arrest for 4 mins 6 days ago during a laparoscopy in my stomach. I am feeling fine now, though my chest is till sore and tight. I would like to visit my parents to assure them I am fine but this involves an hours flight. Am I safe to do so?

Hi,
If doctors have given you clearance then it should not cause any problems. Since there was a cause for arrest, this should not recur and I think I should be safe. I guess your heart function is normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
