I know strokes can be triggered by high altitudes. I wonder if the plane ride had anything to do with the heart attack?

Normally yes, but airliners are pressurized for sea level, so No.

Carrie Fisher did have drug problems in the past, since She was bipolar, both according to the wiki, it would be this most likely.

Deep vein thrombosis, causes blood clots, is the main cause of heart attacks and strokes during air flights.

Generally they're pressurised for the equivalent of 6,000-8,000 ft

I was told differently while flying once, but no matter.

Oh lord...............
This is just breaking news, and no details yet, but it is starting to be reported that Debbie Reynolds, mother of Carrie Fisher may have just been rushed to the hospital suffering from a possible stroke.

Thoughts and prayers are with her if these reports are indeed true.

Stay tuned.
