FEAR OF FLYING?

In the UK, 'economy class syndrome' has hit the headlines.

It turns out that for years the airlines have known that folks on long flights have an increased danger of developing a blood clot, and therefore suffering a stroke or heart failure. This can affect a person anything up to two weeks after the flight.

The cause is that of sitting still in the same cramped conditions for hours on end. Flights over 6 hours long are those which are most risky.


What to Do - If You Have to Fly Economy
We are being a little whimsical here; in truth, even those flying first class need to take precautions. They just have less chance of having to sit in discomfort for long periods.

The ways to reduce risk - for those in all classes! - are fairly simple. (It just would have been helpful if we'd known there was a problem a lot sooner...)


  • Walk around during the flight. Take a stroll around at least every couple of hours. Moving the muscles in the calves helps to improve blood flow.
     
  • Drink plenty of water. This will help slightly to keep the blood thin. That help could just be the difference between a clot - or no clot. Drinking lots of water also has the benefit that you will have to go for a walk now and again to relieve yourself!

    The atmosphere in a plane tends to dehydrate you anyway, so drinking water is good for that reason. Furthermore, one theory suggests that drinking water reduces jet lag.
     
  • Don't cross your legs - this inhibits blood flow.

This Affects Everyone
This problem is not restricted to older or unwell passengers.

One person, who was 20, felt a pain in her leg ten hours into a flight from the UK to Australia. She put it down to cramp. When a pain persisted after her arrival she went to a doctor - who found a clot in her calf. If a piece of this clot had detached itself - she would certainly have been in serious trouble, and could quite easily have died.

Take Sensible Precautions
So take care of yourself on long flights.

Yes - it is difficult to squeeze past the food and duty-free trolleys. But just remember that your health - and truly your life - is at stake.

On long flights, do walk around, and do drink lots of water.
