Vaccines and Health Risks Guide

      Altitude Sickness

          You can get altitude sickness if you travel to a high altitude too quickly. Breathing becomes difficult because you're not able to take in as much oxygen.


          Altitude sickness, also called acute mountain sickness (AMS), can become a medical emergency if ignored.


          Your age, sex or physical fitness do not affect your likelihood of getting altitude sickness.


          Also, just because you may not have had it before, this does not mean you will not get it on another trip. 


          Our pharmacist can provide medication to prevent and treat the condition.
