Can you explain High Altitude Oedema and Altitude Sickness?2024-01-11T05:40:26-08:00

High Altitude Oedema: This condition, characterized by fluid build-up in the body, often occurs due to rapid ascent to high altitudes without proper acclimatization. The primary prevention method is a gradual ascent.

High Altitude Cerebral Oedema (HACE): Fluid accumulation in the brain, leading to severe headaches, hallucinations, disorientation, and loss of coordination. Immediate descent is crucial for treatment.

High Altitude Pulmonary Oedema (HAPE): Fluid in the lungs, causing extreme exhaustion, shortness of breath, and a chesty cough with frothy, blood-tinged sputum. Lying down may worsen the condition. Rapid descent is necessary for recovery.

Immediate Action: Both conditions are serious and require immediate descent to a lower altitude, sometimes as little as 300 meters (1000 feet).

Medications for Altitude Sickness:
Diamox (acetazolamide): A mild diuretic to prevent or reduce symptoms of AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness). Side effects include dehydration, tingling, change in taste, and drowsiness. Prescription-only and should be taken 72 hours before the climb.

Other Medications:
Anti-diarrhoea: Imodium, Lomotil
Pain killers: Advil, Aspirin, Tylenol, Paracetamol
Rehydration Salts
Throat lozenges
Sun block (SPF 50+)
