AN Pressure and airplanes

(1/3) > >>

mema:

   Seems my whole life the pressure change on an airplane left me with an earache for a day or two.  My mother reacts the same way. Now after FSR treatment and all these little goody symptoms I have , as I read posts about barametric pressure effects or full moon effects I wonder does anyone have problems being on an airplane.  I haven't been on a plane and am a little leerie about it.  I don't think my AN caused my earaches of long ago.

mema,
  I've flown a few times since AN treatment with no problems.  But then I didn't have any problems flying before AN.  If you had problems before AN diagnosis that were not related to AN, those issues may still be there.
Regards,
 Rob

I'm not sure, but my AN specialist at the Mayo Clinic in MN. said flying is no problem-SCUBA diving however is. Hope you do ok, Yvette

Flying has always been a problem for me. I've tried gum, nasal spray, decongestants, but nothing helps to reduce the presssure.
I go almost completely deaf during descent, and the pain can be quite intense for me.
I found however, if I take an Avil a half hour before descent, I have no pain at all.(Still deaf,though) I think my condition is inherited from my father. In his youth he trained to be a pilot, but couldn't continue because he could not hear instructions from the tower as he was landing.

I hadn't flown for 2 1/2 years because I too was fearful.  However, due to a family emrgency I was forced to fly 3 weeks ago and have been on six flights since then.  I literally had no problem except for a bit of extra tinnitus for a few hours after but that was it.  sS once again, I am a frequent flyer and very happy to do so.
