What Causes Altitude Sickness?

Simply put, altitude sickness occurs when you move to a higher elevation too quickly. When you are in altitudes higher than your body is used to, you will experience symptoms because of the lower air pressure and lower oxygen levels at the higher elevation. 

What Are the Symptoms?

Typical symptoms include headache, shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue/ tiredness, rapid pulse, loss of appetite and nausea.

Why Rent an Oxygen Concentrator?

Breathing oxygen a couple of times per day, or while you sleep, lets your body rest as if you were at a lower elevation. It gives your body a break and helps you sleep better, recover faster and feel relief of symptoms.
