Is It Safe To Travel With Microprolactinoma Condition?

I have been diagnosed with Microprolactinoma,although my levels are back in the normal range at 300,which has been treated with Bromocriptine ( 1.25mg ) at night.
My question is:
Is there a problem taking a flight on holiday with this condition ( pressure on the plane ) ??

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry about this. And yes, you can definitely travel in flight.
No need to worry for pressure change and low oxygen and all.
Microprolactinoma has nothing to do with atmospheric pressure.
Continue your treatment (bromocriptine) as per your schedule.
So avoid fear and enjoy your holiday.
