What can be done to alleviate high altitude sickness?
I’ve been in Eureka, NV (altitude of 6,500) since August, and have not been able to adjust to the high altitude. I suffer from shortness of breath (especially in the morning upon waking), and heat seems to exacerbate the problem. Walking and standing have become difficult, and stress also exacerbates my symptoms. The local clinic has not been able to give me a diagnosis, but when we go to CA every three weeks to visit family, I can breathe, walk, stand, and feel immeasurably better. Until health insurance kicks in, I’m stuck with the jokers at the local clinic. Any input will be seriously appreciated.
