This may leave you with a variety of symptoms such as nausea, insomnia, diarrhoea, constipation, headache, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, fatigue, cough, restlessness, and rapid heartbeat.

To minimise altitude sickness, doctors at Aspen Valley Hospital recommend you:

• Eat lightly and drink lots of water.
• Get plenty of sleep.
• Heed your body's cues and cut down on your activity level if you experience any of the above-mentioned symptoms.
