flight. dr. jackie is family allergy and asthma care in gaithersburg is here with us. dr. jackie, it may sound like a minor thing, but when patients forget to pack their meds, that often means an emergency for the patient and for you, the doctor on board. >> what happens is you forget to pack your meds and have the problem with your asthma, your high blood pressure. we don't have any of those meds on the plane. one of the ways we find out if you're incapacitated, what your medical history is, is by literally looking at what's in your bag. take your meds,s pt >> okay. now, when it comes to using medication, you say never, ever news medication before you fly. why? >> people do this all the time. they stop at the little store. they buy something for their back. they end up taking a new medication they've never taken before. they have an allergic reaction. another time this happens, if you take alka-seltzer for the first time, let's say, another medication people have an allergy to. let's not try new stuff at 30,000 feet. >> specifically pain meds.
4:17 pm
yes. >> being airborne can cause dehydration and pressure in your head. we know about that. what do we need to know to do? >> so, first of all, with the dehydration, it's because you're breathing out and losing all the oxygen -- all the water, get dry skin and dry eyes. bring things to keep yourself wet. no alcohol makes you drier. in terms of pressure in the ear, it gets so bad because the ear is expanding. 30 minutes flight, take your decongestant. when you buckle up, put in your afrin to open passages. >> many feel the effects of low oxygen when they're up in the clouds. >> that's a real big problem. first of all, you're going to get really sleepy and dizzy. actually the planes are made to be -- when you're up at 30,000, 40,000 feet, you are a little low on oxygen. blood clots are a really big one. you've got to get up and move around. when the blood starts to clot and you're not oxygenating well, you're really going to get into trouble. >> okay. finally, you say never, ever use
4:18 pm
>> there's a couple reasons for this. i've had this happen. i've been called for this on a plane. first of all, you're already sleepy because of the slow oxygen, you might be anxious. you're at an increased risk for seizure because of the low oxygen. there are these apps that send out a little signal that evidently makes your brain more calm, but when you're so tired, because you rushed to get on the plane and you're so tired because you got the low oxygen, you are at an increased risk for seizure and they have definitely seen it. i've been part of it. people who have had seizures on e so be really careful about that. it's not the same as down here on the ground. it's a different health care up there. in the air. >> we need to know this. >> yes. >> dr. jackie, thank you. >> surely. >> all righty. >> thanks, pat. look, there's a little bit of rain that's been passing through the area. that's not enough to get us down here to the storm center. what will is what is coming down the pike. >> yeah, we're talking the biggest change that we've sign so far this season. we've had one day here, one day there.
