Altitude sickness and measures
The frequently seen problem is altitude sickness while trekking and mountaineering. It is also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). This problem arises while climbing high elevation over 3000meters. Short breathing and feeling light headed generally happens in high altitude. However, the symptoms of altitude sickness are dizziness, unappetizing, feeling of tiredness, restlessness and others but when it causes nausea, it becomes quite risky. The best measure to avoid it is to descend a short distance as soon as one is noticed of altitude sickness symptoms.
