ALTITUDE SICKNESS

Visiting snow-capped mountain tops is beautiful but can come with certain risks, such as altitude sickness—a physical condition that can occur at high altitudes due to a reduced amount of oxygen. Altitude Sickness can lead to headaches, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. Luckily, there are a few preventative measures you can take before heading up the mountains. Giving yourself time to acclimate slowly to the change in elevation before partaking in strenuous physical activity is the most effective preventative measure. Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol can also help.
