Mountain sickness is also known as altitude sickness. At sea level the conc. of oxygen is about 21% and the barometric pressure averages 760mm Hg. As altitudes increases, the conc. remains the same but the no. of oxygen molecules per breath is reduced. At 12000 feet the barometric pressure is only 483mm Hg, so there are roughly 40% fewer oxygen molecules per breath. Unordered to oxygenate the body effectively, breathing rate has to increase. This extra ventilation increases oxygen content in the blood, but not to sea level concentrations. The fall in oxygenation of blood produces the symptoms of mountain sickness. These symptoms include breathlessness, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, mental fatigue and a bluish tinge on the skin, nail and lips.

Mountain sickness :-
sometimes called altitude sickness, mountain sickness is a group of symptoms that can strike if you walk or climb to higher elevation, or altitude, too quickly.
Why it happens -
The pressure of the air that surrounds you is called barometric pressure. When you go to higher altitudes, this pressure drops and there is less oxygen available.
If you live in a place that’s located at a moderately high altitude, you get used to the air pressure. But if you travel to a place at a higher altitude than you’re used to, your body will need time to adjust to the change in pressure.
Any time you go above 8,000 feet, you can be at risk for altitude sickness.
Types :-
There are three types of mountain sickness.
1) Acute mountain sickness
2) High altitude pulmonary edema
3) High altitude cerebral edema
Symptops -
Headache
dizziness
Nausea
Vomiting
Fatigue and lost of energy
problems with sleep
short breathness
