As Colleen says that's a question to ask your doctor.
I have Epilepsy and altitude is sometimes a seizure trigger in some people. Some airlines won't allow seizure patients aboard if they know about a seizure disorder without a letter from a physician.
I wouldn't chance going at all were it me and certainly not staying multiple days at that altitude let along flying. I certainly wouldn't go without consulting a doctor. The brain is very sensitive to change.
I hope if you get medical advice I hope you'll let us know what s/he says.
Good luck,
Jake

Thank you for your reply ..I did ask my Dr and she said she was sure it would be ok.. sorry, but can’t trust that answer would be correct. Asked for s referral to see a neurologist , can’t get in till October! Oh well, seems this trip is out of the question this time around
