High Altitude Precautions

Altitude Illness. Above 8,000 feet (2,424 m), many vacationers suffer from altitude illness. There are varying degrees of illness and the most common are altitude sickness or acute mountain sickness (AMS). Acute Mountain Sickness. For those who get AMS, it generally occurs between 6,000 and 10,000 feet and causes mild symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and poor sleep. Symptoms often clear up in a day or two, but if they don’t you may need to go to a lower altitude until you feel better. Going from low elevation to high elevation quickly will increase your odds of feeling altitude illness. Other, less common types of altitude illness include high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE). Symptoms of HAPE include difficulty breathing, chest tightness, cough, and fatigue. Symptoms of HACE include confusion, lack of coordination, stumbling and poor balance. Both of these conditions occur most often over 10,000 feet and are serious conditions that require immediate medical attention.

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.
• 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.

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 one of these websites:
