Altitude Anoxia treatment in Aguascalientes

Altitude anoxia, also known as mountain sickness or high-altitude hypoxia, occurs when the body takes in less oxygen when climbing to high elevations, where the air is thinner.

Common symptoms: Headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and difficulty sleeping tend to appear in the first hours after ascending quickly.

Why does it happen? The body needs time to adapt to the smaller amount of available oxygen, and when the ascent is very fast it may not manage this in time.

When to seek help? If the symptoms are severe or do not improve upon descending, the general practitioner can assess the person's condition and advise on the next steps for safe care.
