Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi All: I might be required to travel by air to Europe if I can't get a waiver due to disability asthma. What are the risks of flying itself for asthma attacks, like cabin pres- sure? What about airline accomodation of someone with asthma? Would they change my seat if someone in my vicinity is wearing a product like some perfume, cologne, etc. that I'm reacting to? Are there 120VAC outlets I can plug my nebulizer into if needed to treat an attack on-board? What about carry-on meds? Are they going to give me any problems? Should I have the pharmacy print-out besides the original packaging with pharmacy info? What about TSA restrictions? I must have my albuterol inhaler, Ativan, Advair and any other meds with me at all times. The thought of being in a confined space for an extended period of time where I can be exposed to a trigger is pretty terrifying to me, because you can't get away from the trigger source so easy in an aircraft. You can't keep exposing yourself, especially after using a broncodillator or you'll increase your exposure even more and can be very dangerous. It could result in respiratory arrest. Please advise me, I've never flown in my life! Your trusted member, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
