The decrease in barometric pressure with increasing altitude reduces PAO 2 . (medscape.com)
At high altitudes, the decrease in barometric pressure reduces the amount of oxygen initially available in the environment, making the slope of the cascade considerably less steep than it otherwise is. (medscape.com)

Altitude illness is caused by the decreased availability of oxygen at high altitudes. (msdmanuals.com)
thus, the partial pressure of oxygen decreases with altitude and, at 5800 m (19,000 ft), is about one half that at sea level, while on the summit of Mt. Everest (8848 m, or 29,032 ft), it is roughly one third that of sea level. (msdmanuals.com)
At that altitude, nearly all of the available oxygen is required to support basal metabolism, and the climbing rate near the summit drops to 2 m/min. (medscape.com)

Although high-fat foods are energy dense, fat is not tolerated well at altitude and can worsen the symptoms of AMS. (naturemedclinic.com)
When first arriving at high altitude your body uses more blood sugar as a fuel source during rest and during exercise. (naturemedclinic.com)
Although masdevallias are found in the tropics, they grow at quite high altitudes and therefore need to be grown under cool to cold conditions in a protected shadehouse or unheated glasshouse. (oscov.asn.au)

Level1
In other words, fatigue and low blood sugar levels will occur more quickly at the same intensity of activity at altitude compared to sea level if increased carbohydrate intake does not occur. (naturemedclinic.com)

Time2
The GPS altitude can be wildly inaccurate at times, errors of 300FT-500FT, check it out next time if your AC has it. (pprune.org)
