I Am Diagnosed With Labrynthitis. Is It Safe To Travel With This Condition?

I have been diagnosed with labrynthitis. I have some persistent problems with balance which occur only in certain circumstances. It has been around 11 weeks since the attack first came on. I am due to fly overseas (long haul) in 4 weeks time. Is it safe to undertake this trip with this condition?

Hi,
It is not advisable to fly as there might be having more problem of having vertigo and it might precipitate the problem.
It is better to take opinion of your treating your doctor as he is having full knowledge of your whole problem.
Ok and take care.
