Brief Answer:
I would honestly not like to risk it if I were your doctor unless necessary

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. If I were your doctor I would honestly not allow you to travel, but only if the travel is for important reasons, I would recommend a complete evaluation of your current cardiac status and allow a 1-2 hour flight at the most sir, anything more than that would have to be done at your own risk or you may have to inform the airlines and travel when there is a doctor travelling on board.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please do not hesitate to write to me for anything, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
