Hello, I was diagnosed in January 2026 with granulomatosis with polyangiitis / vasculitis. My lungs were affected.

I would like to ask for your advice on whether anyone has experience flying on an airplane and whether there were any problems with lung pressure.
At the moment, I still have difficulty climbing two flights of stairs without experiencing breathing problems. I am 24 years old, and my flight for vacation is in 4 weeks. Can anyone help me? My doctor cannot.

Kind regards,
Nico from Germany
