Flying With An Aneurysm

[jkn2kids]

Does anyone know if you can fly with an aneurysm? I might need to fly in 2 weeks and I'm wondering if this will affect my aneurysm.My CT surgeon is out of the country so I can't get an answer from him.

It shouldn't bother it any. Planes are pressurized. Just think of those that move around all the time and don't even know they have one. ;)

I've flown several times since I've known about mine...no one warned against flying. I experienced no discomfort. It did occur to me not to be seated in the exit row as I imagine that opening the door in an emergency might require the application of more force than I am allowed to muster. It would really stink if I dissected and everyone had to climb over me on their way out!:D
