My name is dave and I'm 46 years old . I suffered a stroke a year and a half ago and also had further complication such as a loss of feeling in my stroke hand and enormous fatigue after a plane flight to fro to Florida. I think because of the altitude and my preexisting condition (stroke )this occurred.is there anything in the future to worry about considering my exstensive trip soon to the Philippines
Thank you dave

I believe your question was answered here.

Consult with your Physician before you take your next flight. According to the National Stroke Association, proper conditions must be in place before the treatment of stroke can achieve its full potential.

This may be as a result of the many changes in pressure, that occur while riding on an airplane. These changes in pressure can cause conflicting signals to the brain.

However, if a person adapts to the movement and the motion stops once they are off the plane, that may be an indication of a common condition called Motion Sickness. Nevertheless, your Doctor should decide if there is any need for further investigation or treatment.

Hope this answers your question!
