Q: I have had atrial fibrillation for 3 years and take digoxin daily. Sometimes I get increased heart rate and take half a tablet of coradrone. Is it all right to fly with this condition? I read different airlines information and they said people with significant arrhythmia shouldn't fly.
A:There is nothing to bar patients with atrial fibrillation from flying.
