Question

plz help me i am so sceared and my kids don,t want to go cause i will take a panic attack plz help i want my kids to enjoy there flight and to see the world when they are older not like me plz help me

Answer 1

On a 4 hour flight you are unlikely to get DVT. The best thing to do to prevent it is move. Get up and move around the plane. Or stay in your seat, take off your shoes and wriggle your toes and move your ankle. Just keep the blood moving around.

Answer 2

I am not sure what you are scared of. You can get special socks to stop dvt. I never bother with that I just get up and walk about every half hour or so then it is fine. I thought morocco was about 3 hours but you may be right. It is a great country to visit and remember the safest form of transport is a lift or and escalator and the second safest is an aeroplane.

Answer 3

I can really relate to this one, i WAS petrified of flying, but 2 months ago i went on a flight and here are my tips- buy something to do on the plane: get a tamogotchi( a kids game which will keep you occupied) or a magazine , if you are scared youre kids will be too so be as calm as you can dont think about it and try and reassure your self with well known facts ex: ------FLYING IS THE SAFEST FORM OF TRAVEL
- IF YOURE SCARED OF FLYING THEN YOUR SCARED OF A CAR
-ONCE YOU DO ONE FLIGHT YOU CAN DO THEM ALL
i promise you the flight will be fine- in america loadsa people take flights to work and back! when someone is injured they use helicopters to transport them, theyre faster and SAFER


If your scared of the terrorist side of things then:
- security is too high now THERE IS NO WAY to transport weapons or bombs
-plane hi-jacking is impossible because its locked from the inside and none can get in or out
-every pilot has at least 1 co pilot

I REALLY hope this helps you GO FOR IT BE CALM AND CASUA!!! BELIVE IN YOURSELF







I DID IT SO CAN YOU!
GOOD LUCK YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT

SEE YA!

Answer 4

I wouldn't worry too much for a 4 hour flight - make sure you get up during the flight and have a walk up and down the isles.

Take an aspirin to thin your blood before you go or drink some alcohol on the plane!!

If it's any help I flew to Australia a couple of years ago and had no sign of DVT.

You can get socks from boots as well that will help.

Have a safe trip

Answer 5

You wont get DVT don t worry. It only happens after a long haul flight where you are in the same position for hours and hours. 4 hours will be fine. Go to the toilet a couple of times and circle your ankles in your seat. An extra precaution would be to take an aspirin before the flight as they thin your blood. Enjoy your trip!

Answer 6

You are highly unlikely to get DVT on a short haul flight. If worried, ask for an aisle seat so you can get out of your seat frequently and stretch your legs. Drink lots of water and take an aspirin before take off. You'll be fine.

Answer 7

To avoid any clotting from ocurring on long flights, rotate your foot at least ten times (each foot) while in the seated position; go to the bathroom on the plane to get some blood circulation flowing in your legs. If you don't want to go to the restroom just get up out of your seat and walk down an aisle on the plane.

Answer 8

Go to your doctor and explain your fears. I'm sure he will refer you or give you something to over come the panic feeling you have.
If this sounds to radical them try Calms but be sure to take them regularly a week before you go.
Hope this helps and you have a great time in Morocco.

Answer 9

Take 2 Percocets and sleep through the entire flight

Answer 10

Take 1 aspirin, get up and move around, wear support stockings, while seated, massage your legs, do "chair" exercises!!

If you have a medical problem ask the doctor for Plavix.
