Acute mountain sickness

                                           Acute mountain sickness

 Acute mountain sickness is potentially a very serious condition that can affect any one but by being a ware of the symptoms and abiding by the rules of acclimatisation now here along the trails of Solukhumbu is it too high for a thermal healthy body to acclimatise given time but some take much longer than others to doso some experience headaches at (2500m) (8200ft) white others can happily climb to twice that altitude without discomfort other than shortness of breath and it is not possible to predict in advance who among first time trekkers will suffer from it or youthfulness in fact it would appear that young people maybe more prone to AMS than older trekkers .
