I really don't think the altitude has much impact . . . probably some, everything seems to have some impact. But it seems to me that a person gets used to whatever altitude s/he is at. The impact is when you go to a different altitude. A person coming here from the lowlands would definitely feel the difference . . . and be wiped out by it . . . but would gradually get used to the higher altitude and get back to normal. Many athletes train here and feel they have an added edge going from the altitude to a lower elevation. A hundred years ago lots of tuberculosis patients came here because it was believed that the altitude was beneficial to their lungs. Just my thoughts . . . I'll ask my doctor next time we're in if he thinks there is an impact.
