My mom is flying for the first time ever, she is taking a trip to Mexico with her friends. I am excited for her , however she suffers from high blood pressure and she’s had a bypass and a few strokes over the last few years. She is 51. I cant help but worry about her flying? would it be safe for her health? Am i worrying for nothing?
