AMS on how to prevent the level of high altitude?
I climbed to a peak with a HH of 3964 meters last Friday. about 200 meters before the summit, i was feeling terrible. I felt dizzy. I could not see clearly. i was sort of half-conscious. I later learned that I lived AMS or high altitude. How can I prevent it from happening again?
The thing about altitude sickness is it's not necessarily something coherent - you can get it on a trip and be well the next. I walked up Boundary Peak (13K + ft) (highest point in Nevada) in June and felt really bad. In July, I climbed Rainier (14K + pi) and felt great. It has many to more or less blood chemistry. A number of things you can do (to highlight this TahoeT writing): 1. Ascend slowly. I usually try not to over 3000 m in one day (but often not until 5000 m in one day). By ascending slowly, it gives your body a chance to acclimatize. As TahoeT writing, spend a night at the base of your ascension to help get used to the altitude. 2. Drink plenty of water - you lose lots of water a little breath in the cold, dry air in mountain areas. Proper hydration does not seem to help acclimatization. 3. A drug called acetazolomide (brand name Diamox) does not seem to help acclimatization. It is in fact used to treat glaucoma. I used it in the past as a sleep aid - because it helps regulate your breathing and rapid breathing to remove and stop breathing at altitude is happening, sometimes. There is also a diuretic (makes you pee a lot), which could also help eliminate the accumulation of fluid in the lungs or brain. BUT ... sometimes you can do all that and you still get AMS. From altitude.org: Prevention is better acute mountain sickness than trying to treat it. Growing a reasonable rate (300m elevation gain per day), should mean that your body can acclimatise as you ascend and so you will be less likely to develop acute mountain sickness. However, if you need to go faster, you might consider taking a drug called acetazolamide (also known as Diamox). There is now strong evidence that acetazolamide reduces symptoms of acute mountain sickness hikers, although it has some side effects: it is your hands and feet tingle, and it makes the drinks taste funny. If you have acute mountain sickness, the best treatment is descent. Analgesics may relieve headaches, but they do not treat the condition. Acetazolamide may be helpful, especially if you need to stay at the same altitude, and rest for a day or two can give your body time to recover. It is essential that you should never go higher if you have acute mountain sickness.
