What is altitude sickness? How should you deal with it if you experience it?
What is altitude sickness? Altitude sickness is a natural physiological response that occurs when the body adapts to changes such as air pressure differences, lower oxygen levels, and dry air caused by reaching a certain altitude. Symptoms generally appear at altitudes around 2,700 meters. Some first-time visitors to high-altitude areas may experience headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, general fatigue, difficulty walking, and trouble sleeping within 24 hours at an altitude of 3,000 meters. In severe cases, symptoms include abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, shortness of breath, chest tightness, cyanosis of the face and lips, or facial swelling. If these symptoms occur, it’s advised to rest at the current altitude for 3–5 days or descend immediately by several hundred meters—normal conditions usually return afterward.
