“Cardiovascular Risks of Flying: Why Some People Should Avoid Air Travel”

“Any strong emotion, including an attack of aerophobia, causes an adrenaline rush. And this hormone, in turn, contributes to an increase in heart rate, vasospasm and an increase in blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood clotting. It is clear that this is not about overwork from a long flight, but about the psycho-emotional stress that it causes. If you already have cardiovascular disease and air travel is stressful in itself, anything can happen in this situation. I do not recommend flying for such people.”, says Anna Korenevich.
