Can I Fly With Benign Intercraniel Hypertension?

[Gillian811]

I am a 50 year old women with Benign Intercraniel Hypertension i started off with it six months ago. I went for a simple eye test and that was when it was all discovered. I felt perfectly fine and didn't feel ill at all i did not have any symptoms no headaches no blurred vision either it was only when i got sent to the hospital any they discovered it. At the moment i am taking acetazolamide and i am due to see the Neuroligist on the 5th June. I want to know if this condition can stop me going on a long flight to America.

A.S.A.P. PLEASE REPLY!!!
THANKS GILLIAN
