question about hht
« on: November 21, 2007, 04:52:28 AM »
I was wondering if air travel aggravates hht? I have not heard of this and am new to the subject of hht.

No idea personally, but I'm guessing one of our other members should know :)

Welcome to the site though Pam :)

I've never had a nose bleed while flying - it's about the only situation in which it hasn't bled !!

Hi

I have found that flying makes my nasal cavity very dry. This has caused a few problems when I've landed and travelling to my hotel in a few hours afterwards.

Please note HHT varies from patient to patient.

Hi

I have never had a problem when flying either.  Haven't flown for a few years now, but it was not a problem in the past.

Hi, I have flown many times including long haul. I have never had a nosebleed on the plane. It must be the pressurized cabin keeping the claret in. If only this could be replicated!

Hi,

I tend to get very bunged up when flying & know I'm going to bleed but always seem to manage to hold off until I get to hotel / home.  I fly a lot for work and have never had a real problem.  Even better since I had laser surgery

I'm told the air pressure in an aircraft is kept at that equivalent to 8000 feet, so is much lower than normal.  So you'd expect more nosebleeds - but I've never had one on any of the many flights I've been on.
Perhaps I should move to somewhere 8000 feet above sea level - that rules out the whole of the UK!

In reply to terry about sea level pressure - Whilst snorkelling in warm waters all was fine. I then made a dive towards a large turtle all was fine as I went down to 3or4 meters, the trouble occurred whilst surfacing. The bleed didn't last long as the salt water helped flush & seal up the problem. I made a rapid exit to the boat just in case any sharks were in the vicinity! The only bleeds seemed to be if I over heated on the beach. Even full speed exits from a jet ski had no Ill effect.
