Altitude Sickness occurs when you travel to a place that is high above see level quickly. Traveling by plane from Kansas to Tibet for example would cause most people to experience Altitude Sickness because their body’s would not have time to adjust to the thin air.
A key component of Altitude Sickness is dehydration. At high elevations fluids move out of the blood into body tissues. As the blood thickens dehydration interferes with efficient distribution of nutrients and oxygen and interferes with the elimination of toxic wastes.
Altitude Sickness makes you feel sick, you have a headache, body pain , your tired and extremely thirsty. Drinking a lot of fluids before going to high Altitude may help relieve some of the symptoms of Altitude Sickness.
