Well, the main thing you notice is the "thin air" and its relative lack of oxygen, which usually causes headaches. You'll also find yourself out of breath much more quickly - for example, if you're walking up stairs. Add to that the double-whammy of Mexico City's air pollution, and you often have visitors who don't feel well (and then if you have Montezuma's revenge on top of that...).
As far as arthritis - MEX's climate is usually very dry - except right now during the rainy season, which should last until September.
