Altitude Illness
Altitude Illness is common in higher altitudes, where the amount of oxygen is considerably lesser than sea level. It mostly occurs when the body can't acclimatize to the new surroundings while we are in high hills and mountains. Cold, low humidity, increased UV radiation, and lower air pressure are all stressors of the high-altitude environment, all of which can pose issues for travellers. Hypoxia, on the other hand, is the major worry. The severity of hypoxic stress is determined by altitude, rate of climb, and exposure time. The greatest hypoxia is produced when sleeping at high altitudes; day visits to high altitudes followed by a return to low altitudes are far less taxing on the body.
