I’m flying long haul this month and went to boots for flight socks. Packet said don’t use if legs swell due to heart condition. I have PAF. Anyone had different advice?

I have paroxysmal AF and always use them when flying Heathrow to Sydney. Have not heard that one. Suggest you have a word with Boots Pharmacist. I am on Warfarin, Bisoprolol, statins, BP meds by the way.

Not what you're looking for?
