High-altitude headache and acute mountain sickness
Neurología (English Edition), 2014 Headache is the most common complication associated with exposure to high altitude, and can appear as an isolated high-altitude headache (HAH) or in conjunction with acute mountain sickness (AMS). The purpose of this article is to review several aspects related to diagnosis and treatment of HAH.HAH occurs in 80% of all individuals at altitudes higher ...

AEROBIC CAPACITY AND ALTITUDE SICKNESS DURING HIMALAYAS TREK
Proceeding book, 2019 The aim was to determine relations of physical fitness and high-altitude sickness symptoms and drug usage in nonathletes visiting hypoxic environment. Subjects, 17 males (age 47.8 ±10.65), participated in 26-days trek (2500-6476m). Before the trip an all-out treadmill test was performed (maximal speed/ grade and estimated VO2max recorded). At every new
