How To Prevent High Altitude Illness

Move to higher altitudes gradually. Give your body time to acclimate and adjust. After 8000 feet, ascend no more than 1000 feet per day. Keep in mind that it is easier to prevent many altitude related symptoms than to treat them once they develop. For more detailed information visit ismmed.org

• If you have a headache or lack of coordination or other symptoms of altitude illness, don’t go any higher.
• If possible, sleep at a lower altitude than you are at during the day.
• Ask your doctor if medications for altitude illness (acetazolamide (Diamox, Dazamide)) would be helpful for you.
• Carry rain gear/warm clothing because mountain weather can change quickly.
• Drink plenty of liquids while exercising (16-32 oz/hour or more in hotter weather).
• Wear light-colored clothes that wick moisture, like Cool-Max.
• Use sunscreen to help prevent sunburn.
• If you feel your performance drop quickly, rest and try to cool off.
• Do not drink alcohol/caffeine before or immediately after exercising at altitude.
