What are the symptoms of altitude sickness?
It depends upon the person, but the most common symptoms are
headaches, nausea, vomitting, and fatigue. The people that are most
prown to altitude sickness are those of 50 years and up, if you
have a history of altitude sickness to start with, places that are
3,000 feet or higher, or a rapid change in altitude. As a young
child, I used to have altitude sickness because I had problems with
my ears, so that could also effect you. The last time I went up to
a higher elevation, I used these band like bracelets called "Sea
Bands" from the "Sea Products" company and those really seemed to
help me. You can get them and/or pills for altitude sickness over
the counter.
