Last week I had a plane flight that took me half way across the country (Arkansas to Oregon). When I arrived there, I felt a lot of restriction but just thought it was because I was tired. The next day, and for the next four days, I was so restricted I could only take a bite or two (at most) or I would upchuck! Now that I am back home the restriction seems better, but still tighter than it was! Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? I would rather think the flight caused it rather than something worse. If anyone has any thought, I would appreciate your input! Terri:help:

Flying gets me almost every time. I'm not *sure* about altitude, but I can see how it would cause a difference. I know stress does it to me, so flying + travel for any kind of stressful reason = major restriction for me.

But at the very least, you aren't crazy, it happens to lots of people.

wow thats good to know. I'm flying to Cancun on May 13th. I go for anther fill next Tuesday.

I've flown for 2 hours and have not had any trouble before but this will be a much longer flight.

Thanks for the heads up!

I snowboard and hike around Mt. Hood. I have not been in a plane since my band, but have been from sea level to about 8,000 ft. within just a few hours but did not have any unique experiances with my band.

I am a track and field coach and I have only had two fills and I attribute it to flying. I always have great restriction when I fly. I call it a bonus!
