I get altitude sick at 10,000ft, but my wife doesn't get it at all. It's different for everyone. But it's not coming back down that causes issues, it's staying up / oxygen deprivation.
Dehydration is the more likely suspect as others have said. I was told by my urologist (because I've had kidney stones twice) that I have to make sure I drink 60oz of fluids every day, but for every 1,000 feet over 3,00ft, I have to add another 12oz. So I was doing a bunch of work in Lake Tahoe last year for a week at around 6,000ft, I got real dizzy and realized I had forgotten to increase my water intake to 96oz (which by the way is a LOT of liquid, but luckily, beer counts...). It takes a long time to re-hydrate once you go too far, took me the better part of a day to feel normal again.
