Yes, oxygen is lower in higher altitudes
At higher altitudes such as on top of a mountain, the air is less dense and this means that the partial pressure of oxygen is lower. Hence, the fall in atmospheric pressure at higher altitude decreases the partial pressure of inspired oxygen
Living at high altitude can potentially improve your endurance during intense exercise. It may increase your aerobic capacity, lactic acid tolerance, and oxygen flow to your muscles. To prevent altitude sickness, climb slowly and reduce your intensity at high altitudes.
High altitudes may mean ambient pressure can drop below vapour pressure hence, you might feel lethargy, sometimes unconciousness and if you are unable to cope up then connect with a doctor to know the best treatment.
High altitude environments can be debilitating to unacclimatized individuals exposed to elevations above 3,000 m (9,843 ft) for periods ranging from several hours to days. Moderate hypoxia induces substantial alterations in physiological and psychological parameters within a few hours
