Hello friends,

I was diagnosed with chiari type I, 7 mm in June 2025. Say several neurologists and neurosurgeons saying that I'm not a candidate for surgery. No answers and no treatment so far. My symptoms include low blood pressure, near fainting, lightheadedness, migraines with aura, trouble swallowing, numbness in arms and legs.

Now I'm wondering if travelling by plane on shorter trips (<5 hours) is ok? So far I've never been told I can't but also the doctors here in Canada don't really help us at all and just wait for us to die. So thought someone here might be able to shed some light on if it's an issue or not. Thank you!! 🙏
