The pressure in a commercial aircraft NEVER goes above 8,000 feet by regulations, some don't go above 6,000 feet. The airlines try to keep the pressure altitude low for passenger comfort.

I would ask your cardiologist for more explanation. The neuro's statement is not supportable. Can you rent an portable oxygen concentrator or tank and cannula ?
