RE: Pulmonary Embolism- How Susceptible Are You To It?
Sorry to hear about your friend.
This is a useful post - in general there should be greater awareness of the risk of pulmonary embolism, especially after flying.
Anyone going on a long haul flight would reduce their risk with a few simple precautions - taking aspirin a few days beforehand, staying dehydrated, wearing compression stockings and moving around a bit in flight
But, if you are unlucky, then no amount of monitoring or preventive measures will stop this from happening
Thanks for posting!
Wow... I'll have to look into taking aspirin and staying dehydrated... hydration,moving the limbs often and compression stockings should do the trick. But as you said,
So true, thanks for stopping by!
Haha - ironically, I mostly am dehydrated when I fly as I drink too much wine.
Hopefully nobody will read that and try to fly dehydrated 😀
Lol, that's so funny... but its cool as long as it works for you. Cheers dear!
