Is It Safe To Travel By Flight After A Traumatic Brain Injury ?
I suffered a traumatic brain injury about three months ago. I had a subdural hematoma, skull fracture, concussion, intercranial pressure and a bump on my head. I still have the bump, headaches, vertigo and problems with my ear (the ent doctor adjusted the crystals in my ear 10 days ago). Im supposed to fly in a few days for a 4 hour flight and wanted to know if its safe?

Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering and your injury
Unfortunately i wouldn't reccomend you to fly as you have just adjusted your ear crystal
You may be suffering vertigo or dizziness during flight due to pressure changes
In my opinion you should postpone your flight for some days
Best regards
Stay healthy
