Altitude Medicine is a field of study focused on understanding how high altitudes affect the human body. As people ascend to higher elevations, the air pressure decreases, leading to lower oxygen levels. This can cause various health issues, such as acute mountain sickness (AMS), which may result in symptoms like headaches, nausea, and fatigue. To mitigate these effects, Altitude Medicine emphasizes gradual acclimatization, proper hydration, and awareness of altitude-related conditions. Medical professionals in this field also provide guidance on safe travel to high-altitude locations, ensuring that individuals can enjoy activities like mountaineering and skiing while minimizing health risks.
