Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), occurs when you cannot get enough oxygen from the air at high places. It commonly affects people who go up too quickly to heights above 8,000 feet or 2,500 meters without giving their bodies time to adjust. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty sleeping. In severe cases, it can lead to life-threatening conditions. Preventing altitude sickness involves going up gradually, staying hydrated, and avoiding intense activity in the first 24 hours at high places. Treatment typically includes going down to a lower height, resting, and taking medications to ease symptoms.
