Question

Health Effects of High Altitude

Answer

At the high altitude of Colorado Mountains everyone is affected to some degree. Increase fluid intake- 2 or 3 times normal intake: water and juice are best, hydration is key to preventing AMS and HAPE, drink enough to urinate every two hours. Avoid alcohol and minimize caffeine on arrival and a couple days after. Remember, you may be much more sensitive to the effects of alcohol at a higher altitude, please be very careful. Decrease salt intake as salt causes your body to retain fluids, increasing the severity of altitude illness. Eat frequent small meals high in carbs, low in fat and low in protein. Maintain moderate physical activity and get plenty of rest. Medications and oxygen can help you feel better. Diamox is a prescription drug that prevents the unpleasant symptoms for many people. Recent experience suggests that a small dose of Diamox will suffice (125 mg).

Question
