DrBrain :

Hello welcome to just answer.

DrBrain :

My views expressed are for educational purposes only.

DrBrain :

There is no lower amount of oxygen inside the plane as the air inside is pressurized. So this would not damage any part of the body.

Customer :

I have a lung specialist whom I see. He said that there is less oxygen because of the air pressure.

Customer :

Please reply to my previous statement.

DrBrain :

There is no less oxygen in the cabin as air inside the plane is pressured to have enough oxygen for everybody that is the reason when system fails the oxygen masks drops in the cabin for oxygen to the passengers.

Customer :

After my last flight, as I walked up the exit ramp, I got dizzy and could not speak properly and disoriented.

DrBrain :

These would not happen due to the air in the plane.

Customer :

Thank you very much for your time. Have a good night. Patricia
