what is Mountain sickness​

Answer 1

Answer:

hello mate

mountain sickness is an illness that can affect mountain climbers, hikers, skiers, or travelers at high altitudes, usually above 8,000 feet (2,400 meters).

Causes

Acute mountain sickness is caused by reduced air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes.

The faster you climb to a high altitude, the more likely you will get acute mountain sickness.

You are at higher risk for acute mountain sickness if:

You live at or near sea level and travel to a high altitude.

You have had the illness before.

You ascend quickly.

You have not acclimatized to the altitude.

Alcohol or other substances have interfered with acclimatization.

You have medical problems involving the heart, nervous system, or lungs.
