Is It Safe To Fly If Suffering From Superior-vena-cava-syndrome?
I have superior-vena-cava-syndrome and I was wondering if it would be okay for me to fly. I also have something wrong with the main vein that runs through my neck to my heart I have to go see a heart doctor about it every year and a half and I am not sure if flying would be okay? What do you think?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it's usually safe to fly. But you should on treatment for the same. So I guess you must be on treatment for it like anticoagulation etc. In that case, usually it's safe.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
