Is there such a thing as 'reverse altitude sickness'?

Humans can certainly experience reverse altitude sickness, known as high-altitude de acclimatisation syndrome (HADAS). When people who live at low altitude have adjusted to a high-altitude, low-oxygen environment, they can get any of a large number of possible symptoms of HADAS when returning to a lower altitude.
