Would it be hard to acclimate to Denver's elevation? I'm from New York.? |
Travel Info how hard will it be? when will the symptoms of altitude sickness go away? Travel Tips nope takes 30 days to truly compensate but if you get enough rest, drink plenty of fluids and don't think you can go out and mountain climb all day you should be good to go. people get into trouble when they push them selves and remember breath through the nose (not the mouth) and exhale through the mouth.... Source(s): The best way to prevent acute altitude sickness is to ascend slowly (over a period of several days) to higher altitudes. Limiting physical activity for the first few days may also help. Acute altitude sickness is usually not a serious condition, and it resolves on its own with rest and over-the-counter analgesics for pain control. Maintaining adequate hydration may also help reduce the symptoms of acute altitude sickness. Other Travel Tips We are from the Midwest. We went to Denver when my first grandchild was born. Other than sinus problems, we really didn't have any difficulty until we went to the top of Pike's Peak. If you are not prepared for the difficulty in breathing, it's scary. As long as you remain calm and breathe slowly, the feeling passes. We were there for a week, went through the mountains, visited the usual tourist attractions and never experienced any other problems. We had children with us from six to 17. They didn't have any trouble either. It might be if you had to climb stairs or you were a jogger it could take you longer to get used to it. I'm from Jersey, took us about a week or two to get adjusted. Just don't go on any long hikes right away. Drink plenty of water it's very dry here. You'll love the summers no humidity. and no hazy days I live in Ohio, I went to Denver last year for business and stayed for about 3 weeks. I was outside every day and didn't have any problems. Age, weight and smoking issues would have to be taken into account. Even though Denver is somewhere around 5,000 ft above sea level, it is relatively low in consideration to the surrounding areas. Keep in mind that the higher the elevation, the less octane you will need in your fuel. You will find 85 and 86 octane fuels out there. It is perfectly acceptable to run this fuel during your visit. Check with your vehicle manufacturer. You may have some problems for about a week. Remember to drink LOTS of water. Believe it or not it's the best thing. You'll see that most people who live here carry around a water bottle all the time. Like everyone has said, keep hydrated. If your skin starts to dry out, use dove soap. In order to acclimate to the altitude, your body will actually increase your volume of blood to carry more oxygen to your cells. Eating more red meat will help this process along. Exercise, but don't over do it. Also, I've found that jogging outside really makes my lungs raw, due to the dry air. Natives say they don't have this problem, but even after 6 years here, I still have the problem. Go figure. |
