You may have more red cells from the higher altitude living...and these make the blood thick...hard to move along. Until they thin out you might want to watch your hydration, and drink more water, and avoid high fat high sugar foods which also thicken the blood with triglycerides.
If you are using Prednisone, you might want to get a doctor's opinion and triglyceride level measured, and also other blood work.
When we went to Denver for a week, I suffered quite a bit. Standing up was difficult (I'd feel lightheaded), and I don't have MG or other serious neuro issues. I was glad to leave.
I wasn't as old as I am now, either... it was sobering how awful I felt. My husband and son had no problem.
