Loading ...Those living in the mountains I never studied it but they’re lungs are developed to take in what air there is. Even at lower mountain I lived as a kid I noticed after awhile moving to lower elevations you don’t need to use all of your lungs.
I noticed my lower lungs particularly but when you go back up they kick in.
That’s without any injury or illness that could damage them along the way.
As time went on after picking up cigarette and through the years I could still go to higher levels because my lower lungs not using them as much were not totally but spared from the damage. What I noticed first was scuba diving and getting tight, harder to breath. You have to get past the upper lungs to get to lower.
Then a few years back I went up to Tahoe and went on the Gondola takijg you up higher. I was fine UNTIL I was waiting for people who were sliding down a mountain and lit up a cigarette. Then went back up so I lit up another and oh no. I could feel the oxygen leaving me like a air raft with a leak. I was losing air through body like hypoxia fast. I knew In had to move down the mountain fast went to the Gondola jumped on and headed down. Part way down it just stopped. I think they didn’t know anyone was there cuz I was there for about 5 minutes it seemed. Luckily I could breath again or those idiots could of found a dead person floating around on a gondola lol That’s when I thought about a paracord. Might be a good thing to have for those lifts.
