Increase of altitude does affect blood pressure, but not by much. And your body will adapt over time. For example, people at higher altitudes produce more red blood cells to carry oxygen. If you have cronic hypertention or you are on meds for high blood pressue you should probably talk to your doctor before going to an altitude of over 4000 feet.

What is heterosphere mean?
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases
How does oxygen content change with altitude?
The density of air decreases with altitude, so the ratio of oxygen in the air stays the same, but the amount of gases in your lungs decrease.
How will greenhouse gases affect your children?
