High-altitude headache and acute mountain sickness.
INTRODUCTION Headache is the most common complication associated with exposure to high altitude, and can appear as an isolated high-altitude headache (HAH) or in conjunction with acute mountain sickness (AMS). The purpose of this article is to review several aspects related to diagnosis and treatment of HAH. DEVELOPMENT HAH occurs in 80% of all individuals at altitudes higher than 3000 meters...
متن کاملExercise exacerbates acute mountain sickness at simulated high altitude.
We hypothesized that exercise would cause greater severity and incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) in the early hours of exposure to altitude. After passive ascent to simulated high altitude in a decompression chamber [barometric pressure = 429 Torr, approximately 4,800 m (J. B. West, J. Appl. Physiol. 81: 1850-1854, 1996)], seven men exercised (Ex) at 50% of their altitude-specific maxi...
متن کاملHigh Altitude Mountain Sickness
Its probable first account has been given by Plutarch in his comments on Alexander’s invasion of India: “Many then were the dangers— but the greatest harm came from severity of weathers”. Similarly, a Chinese record mentions of “Lesser Headache Mountains” and the “Greater Headache Mountains” where men’s bodies become feverish, they lose color and are attacked with headache, dizziness and vomiti...
متن کاملDisturbed eating at high altitude: influence of food preferences, acute mountain sickness and satiation hormones.
PURPOSE Hypoxia has been shown to reduce energy intake and lead to weight loss, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The aim was therefore to assess changes in eating after rapid ascent to 4,559 m and to investigate to what extent hypoxia, acute mountain sickness (AMS), food preferences and satiation hormones influence eating behavior. METHODS Participants (n = 23) were studied at near ...
متن کاملcharacteristics of headache at altitude among trekkers; a comparison between acute mountain sickness and non-acute mountain sickness headache
purpose headache at altitudes has had an incidence of 25-62% through many related studies. many reasons are identified concerning headache at altitudes such as acute mountain sickness (ams), sinus headache, migraine, tension type headache, and frontal tension headache. this study tried to compare different types of headache among trekkers on mount damavand, a 5671m mountain, iran, to find their...
