Altitude sickness occurs when you ascend to high altitudes too quickly, causing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath. It can affect anyone traveling to elevations above 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). Proper acclimatization and preventive measures are essential to avoid serious health risks.

If you suffer from altitude sickness, descend to a lower altitude immediately, rest, stay hydrated, and avoid further ascent until symptoms improve. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

Taking Acetazolamide tablets can help prevent and treat altitude sickness by accelerating acclimatization. It works by reducing fluid build-up and improving breathing, easing symptoms like headache, nausea, and fatigue.
