lol. its ok man. Its only hard to breathe at high altitudes cause of the lack of oxygen, which is why they take those oxygen tanks with them when they go really high. Air pressure pushes on us in every possible direction, unlike gravity. There's typically a higher concentraion of O2 in denser air, which is why you might run rich in higher altitude places.
