Dear Doctor,

On a long flight from Frankfurt to Sydney, I suddenly turned unconscious. I felt it coming on… but it was only a short moment. Then I felt hot etc. I realized that it must have been DVT or a mild heart attack, caused by a soft blood clot.
Now, that I have to fly to Sydney (in 2 month) I informed myself on the Internet, but there’s no mentioning of any medication to take. On my last flight from Sydney to Santiago de Chile I fared better: I drank plenty of water, some lemon juice, every 3 hrs 100mg of Aspirin, massaged my calf muscles every hour or so and walked around the cabin every 3 hrs. That helped! I also read that DVT still can occur up to one month after long flights.
Is there anything else I should do or take? Thanking you in advance for your invaluable advice. Kind Regards, Johannes ‘el de Chile’
