Vertigo & Flying

[hbsteve]

My wife has some vertigo today.  And she is scheduled to fly from So. Cal. to San Francisco, for some important meetings.
She is taking Meclizine.  How does flying affect vertigo?

I have to disagree, eyes closed can actually increase vertigo depending on the cause. Certainly does in my case anyway. She may do better focusing on a point during takeoff, a distant sign or someting. Flying isn't too bad. Not that much sense of motion.

Has she had an EKG in the last few years?  Irregular beats can trigger mine.
