Is It Safe To Fly Having Diagnosed With Bradycardia?
Hi..i'm 28yr female, 5ft 3", 8st 5lb, very fit and active. I've recently had an ECG scan as i was getting panic attack symptoms but these attacks happened when i was at rest/in bed and not in a state of panic. My ECG came back and heart rate was 38 beats per minute. My doctor has referred me to a cardiologist to check this out further but I'm meant to be flying to Australia 11 september for 6 weeks...is it safe to fly if it turns out I have 'bradycardia' or a similar heart condition? I would like you to bear in mind i'm very active and run at least 40k a week.
If you are active and have no complaints, then there is no contraindication for the flight. Anyway you will need to see a cardiologist afterwards when you are back to have some examinations.
Take care
