Is it hard to adjust to Denver's elevation? |
Travel Info If you've lived in a city which is at sea level? (I'm from New York but I'm thinking about attending a college in Denver) Travel Tips It effects people in diferent ways. yes it will effect you headaches are common. some people even got nausea. usually you can adjust within a couple of weeks. Others It's only hard for the first couple of days. I had a headache and felt tired for like 2 days...after that...I don't think I noticed it again . No, only a day or two. I go skiing around there about once a year and I'm from a town really low too. It can be if your not used to it. You may get light-headed accompanied with some dizzines and slight head-aches. These are natural. They will go away in 1 to 2 weeks. May take a month or 6 weeks to fully adjust. Denver is nice. I live at sea level and visited Denver without asking this question. I was very sick. It only takes 3 days to get used to the altitude. Drink a lot of water before you go and after you get there. Don't drink alcohol for a while when you get there. Stay in Denver and don't go to a higher altitude until you get used to Denver. And, by the way, contact lenses don't work well in Denver because it is so dry. Plan on wearing glasses. If you're young, healthy, and reasonably fit, you shouldn't have too much trouble. You're going to be short on breath for a few days and could even be a bit dizzy for a few days. Take it easy. If you start having headaches and nausea within 24 hours, you have altitude sickness. You're going to need some additional oxygen. That doesn't mean you won't adjust, it just means you're going to need a little bit more help. Chances are you'll be fine. Enjoy your stay, and bring lots and lots of warm layers. You'll need them! I moved out here from Los Angeles and I didn't really notice a difference with the change in elevation. However, my skin got really dry! Just got to use a lot of lotion. My siblings (also from LA) were more tired and sleepy than normal for about a week. Personally, the dryness effected me more. |
