Question

Is altitude sickness a real thing?

Answer

Unfortunately, it is for some people, but it doesn't affect everyone. Altitude Sickness is a type of hypoxia (too little oxygen) that occurs at high altitudes where there are less oxygen molecules in the surrounding air than at lower altitudes. Altitude sickness may begin around 8,000 ft (2400 meters) above sea level. It takes one – three days for bodies to acclimate to new altitudes. You can accommodate this by drinking plenty of water and planning activities at lower elevations for the first few days of your visit, then moving to higher elevation hikes and excursions. While acclimating, it is important to reduce alcohol, salty foods, and caffeine. Estes Park has an elevation of 7500 ft (2300 meters), so while not highly concerning as far as elevation sickness is concerned, yes, it is still considered a high elevation to be prepared for if you aren’t acclimated. If you’re coming from Denver, you’re at an elevation 5,225 feet and headed for a climb. If you experience hypoxia, the main remedy is to get to a lower elevation quickly so your body can recover and drink water! Some of the minor warning signs of altitude sickness to be aware of include: Dizziness Headaches Nausea Shortness of breath Loss of appetite Biggest tip is to HYDRATE - drink water when you land, buy some portable oxygen and Gatorade from the airport convenience store, and try to avoid caffeine and alcohol for at least the first 24 hours.
