[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2220145, member: 9299"] Acclimation - If you can't, then eat more foods that are high in Potassium, drink more water and eat less salt. Diamox is a prescription drug, which prevents the unpleasant symptoms for many people, so ask your doctor about its use. Once you arrive, take it easy for the first day or two, and reduce alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods. Drink more water than usual, around 3-4 quarts a day. Salt causes your body to retain fluid, which increases the severity of altitude illness. Some people use Ibuprofen and antacids to help relieve mild symptoms, and this will help many. Some time back, we kept absorptive antacids in our E-kit for lowlanders, and these helped to reduce the acidosis caused by decreased O2 levels in the blood. There are a lot of medical pubs available concerning AS, so read a few and be very aware of the early symptoms. YMMV [/QUOTE]
