Assuming you mean ‘get out of breath easily,’ yeah I’ve experienced that. When I visit relatives in Colorado, and they like to take hikes up a mountain, I definitely feel it.
Weirdest thing was when in Hawaii (and I was about 1/2 my current age) we rented a Jeep to explore, and drove up to the top of Mauna Loa where the observatories are. Of course in Hawaii you are starting at sea level. We got a tour inside one of the observatories, and the person conducting the tour said because of the altitude, you might feel light-headed. Funny thing is I didn’t really feel anything different until he said that, and then, I guess it’s the power of suggestion, I started feeling that way. But I got over it and was fine. Still strange, though, going from beaches in Hawaii up to a mountain 11 thousand feet high. And playing in the snow.
What’s nice is living at a high Colorado altitude, going somewhere like San Francisco it’s suddenly so easy to walk up those crazy steep hills all day!
