Cruising at FL100 is usually not a problem, even for extended periods, but I beware of everything higher than that. I experienced once light symptoms while flying at FL135. It took a good 30 minutes before I felt a change. This was a flight over the Alps, in the region of Montana, Jugfrau and Matterhorn. When I started to feel a bit dizzy, I descended, and the symptoms disappeared almost immediately. Good awareness and self-observations are key factors to avoid such problems. http://www.plasticpilot.net/blog/2008/02/22/pressurization-for-dummies-part-ii/ Being both an Alpine and IFR pilots, altitudes over 10.000 are not unknown to me.
