Any level above 8000 feet above sea level one can experience altitude concern
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.
Avoid visiting places on the same day when you get to higher altitudes. Acclimatise and only then get to places which requires climbing.
If you have altitude sickness you should first acclimatise with the enviroment for 24-48 hours before stepping out to do any activity.
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
