Does high altitude affect overall blood gases?

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.

Does your blood thin out When you move south?

Moving south does not necessarily thin your blood, but moving to a lower altitude can. When you live in a higher altitude, your body makes more red blood cells for carrying oxygen to compensate for the fact that the air is thinner. Hence in a way your blood is "thicker" at higher altitudes and "thinner" at lower altitudes. Many areas of the American South, such as Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and coastal Carolina and Georgia, are very close to sea level and therefore have a lower altitude. Only in this way could moving south "thin your blood". However, in other areas of the world, moving south may not have any effect on your blood cells. Note, "thinner blood" is also an expression that some people use to describe the phenomenon of becoming less accustomed to cold weather after moving south. This is just an expression and is not meant literally.
