Lost Consciousness Due To Concussion. CT Scan Report Normal. Having Headache And Lightheadedness. Is It Safe To Travel By Air?
My husband suffered a concussion last wednesday night.. He was lost consiousness for 3 to 4 mins. We did take him to the ER and they did CT scan which we were told were completely normal. They kept him overnight for observation. He is still having headache pain and lightheadness. He is scheduled to fly today. Do you think that will be ok?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthCareMagic,
As his CT scan is completely normal and during observation also he was normal, he is not expected to face any problem during flight. But if it is not urgent, he can postpone flight due to headache and lightheadedness.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
With good wishes,
Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma
