WHAT IS ALTITUDE SICKNESS?

Altitude sickness, also known as sorche, is a condition brought on by the drop in air pressure and oxygen levels at high elevations. Affecting people in different ways, some travelers will respond to the rarefied air with ease, while others will experience shortness of breath, headache, nausea, lethargy and loss of appetite. For the unlucky minority, altitude sickness can lead to serious health problems and even death if not treated properly. The primary cause of altitude illnesses is going too high too quickly. Given time, your body can adapt to the decrease in oxygen at specific altitudes, one of the most important factors of acclimatisation. Striking anyone at any time, it is unclear as to why some people suffer while others remain blissfully unaffected. All that is known is that altitude sickness does not discriminate and can even be life-threatening if not treated properly.

CAUSE OF ALTITUDE SICKNESS

While most people can ascend to 2000 metres (6500 feet) in one day with little or no effect, at higher altitudes this is not always the case. Due to the lower air pressure found at heights more than 2000 meters above sea level, there is less oxygen molecules available per breath, making it harder for the body to get the amount it requires to function properly. Less oxygen in the blood stream means less oxygen getting into your cells, causing people who ascend too rapidly to develop altitude sickness. Your body can adjust to higher altitudes by making more red blood cells to carry oxygen more efficiently. However this process can take over a week, during which time some people can suffer debilitating effects, ruining the start of their holiday. Furthermore, high altitude and lower air pressure causes fluid to leak from the tiny blood vessels that pass blood from arteries to veins in both the lungs and the brain. For those continuing to higher altitudes without properly acclimatising first, this leakage can lead to fluid build-up which in turn, can lead to severe altitude sickness.

SYMPTOMS OF ALTITUDE SICKNESS

It is estimated that over 50% of people will become ill if they ascend too quickly from sea level to 3500 meters (11,000 feet) without proper acclimatisation. Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) In Bolivia, travelers whose aren’t responding well to rapid changes in elevation, will generally suffer from a type of altitude sickness known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Many people describe AMS as having a severe hangover or a bad case of the flu, with symptoms varying from person to person. Signs you may have AMS include:

nausea

rapid heart beat

throbbing headache

loss of appetite

shortness of breath

light-headedness

dizziness

tiredness

pins and needles

difficulty sleeping

Not paying attention to your body and the symptoms of altitude sickness can lead to more serious health affects.
