Altitude Sickness: Acute
mountain sickness is a frequent problem in the Himalayan region.
The altitude of the peaks and trills between them are among
highest on earth. Acclimatization to altitude above 3000 meters
takes time. The body undergoes a number of physiological changes
acme of which are immediate like increased pulse rate &
respiratory rate. Others appear more slowly over a period
of weeks like the change in acid base balance and production
of extra red blood cells. These changes plus the effect of
intense sunlight, walking hard & dehydration may cause
a number or mild vague symptoms such as Loss of appetite,
fatigue, headache, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, sleeplessness,
mild shortness of breath with exercise. The best treatment
