Great, thanks so much. Is there also any difference with things like how tissues will uptake the oxygen at pressure? Or is it literally just down to the partial pressure that you're breathing?

No problem at all, I thought as much! I guess breathing supplemental oxygen should hopefully at least protect against the hypoxia of altitude, or just slightly lessen it

I expect this question might be difficult to answer, but I’m just wondering again on the difference between the two mechanisms of flying based problems, and if there’s perhaps a distinction between the type of damage that they may do. If the worsening of symptoms is due to hypoxia of damaged...

Thanks so much, I have actually spoken to them already, and they've been great. It can just be difficult to get everything clear over the phone. I was actually going to ask about supplementary oxygen. From what I gather it seems like there's perhaps 2 mechanisms by which flying can cause...

Thank you all so much for the replies. This forum really is an amazing place. For my case, I've been cleared to fly for some time by the Doctors that have treated me, and it's been 6 weeks since my last treatment, so definitely at the longer end of recommendations (though I've now seen one...
