Re: "Live" from the Western Swing
Larry, altitude sickness can stike at high elevations such as where you are, due to less oxygen in the air. Classic symptoms might not be immediately apparent, symptoms are what you were experiencing such as throbbing headache, fatique, nausea, shortness of breathe and finally dizziness. Best remedy is find a quiet spot to rest, sit down, drink plenty of water and elevate your legs. Alway's carry plenty of water with you in the car and carry twice as much as you think you will need, sip the water at regular intervals. When you're not use to altitude shifts, your heart can suffer the most as we age. Be careful and good luck. Claude
