1. A paralytic attack within the past two weeks is a contraindication to air travel.
2. Patients with migraines have reported travel in airplanes or trains as triggers of their headaches. The cause is unclear, and may relate to the stress of travel, sleep deprivation, high altitude, or other environmental stressors. Migraineurs, as with other patients, should be advised to maintain their prophylactic medicines and to carry rescue medication with them.
3. Epilepsy is generally not a contraindication to flying; however, patients with frequent, severe seizures should not fly until their epilepsy is better controlled.
