at 63000 feet above sea level, the vapour pressure of water crosses the 37 deg C mark - so water boils at 37 deg or lower
True, for exposed water, but your body doesnt lose pressure like that. As long as your skin remains intake it acts to keep the blood pressurized. If it couldn't do this then under normal conditions we would explode simply from arterial pressure being generated from the heart.
