consume something with salt if you are doing some strenuous activity, that will make you sweat and lose salts. If you are not doing that then avoid salty food.
Here’s a tip. I’ve been to colorado quit a lot of times and only once I’ve been rlly sick. meaning nasueas and dizzy the higher you are above sea level the more altitude sickness you get. so if u want to avoid this before going in between mountains eat dramamine
Same here I'm from Florida and our altitude is sea level, when I arrived to denver I got sick instantly, what's worse I had to go to higher levels because we had to drive up to keystone denver
I went to Fort Collins,first time in co. I spent all my time in hospital, never so sick in my life. Hospital never determined what was wrong . Lived in ca my entire life. Never going back
@@crunkin1t590 ok form the info I’m gathering as long as we don’t go up to 8000 elevation on day one. Buy boost oxygen when arriving and take Advil / take aspirin before trip
@@davis8497 bummer i was thinking of asking for the med for it. I had nausea, headache, black spots in vision, short of breath, dizzy, and confusion. That was at about 8,000 ft. Cant imagine how people go up further. Glad we didnt have anything worse thats for sure!

Fascinating
I get altitude sickness when i go thru any mountains, it's complete misery
Same. Is there any way to prevent it or should we just stick to visiting low elevation areas
