During the trek Altitude sickness
Altitude sickness is common in mountains above the altitude of 3000 m. While ascending quickly you may feel symptoms like nausea, headache, difficulty in breathing, increased heart rate, and uneasiness. And, if the symptoms persist for a longer duration then know that your body could not resist the altitude variation. So, if you feel these symptoms, please let your guide and your group know. Your guide will provide you with immediate first aid. To minimize the risk of altitude sickness here are some guidelines:
- Stop and rest where you are
- Do not go any higher for at least 24 to 48 hours
- Make sure you are drinking enough water
- Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or exercise
Preventing Altitude Sickness (AMS):
- Rest Well: Ensure that you rest well before starting your trek.
- Stay Hydrated: Continue drinking plenty of water during the journey.
- Balanced Nutrition: Maintain the balance of salt and sugar through proper eating habits and not skipping meals.
- Keep Warm: Layer up to remain warm without profuse sweating.
- Controlled Breathing: Breathe deeply and steadily from your diaphragm to maximize lung capacity. Maintain a comfortable walking speed that will allow for controlled breathing. Nasal breathing avoids drying your throat—wearing a muff or scarf in high altitudes might be of use.
- Pace Yourself: It’s not a competition. Pace yourself with a maintainable and Server consistent pace instead of exhausting yourself too early and taking many rest stops. Stop and admire the stunning views.
