[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2220210, member: 9299"] As an FYI, not all AS symptoms, especially severe like HAPE and HACE, are simply O2 resolved, for the decreased pressure leading to leaking of vascular fluids can lead to more emergent concerns. Two severe forms of altitude illness occur less frequently but are more serious, and both can be life-threatening. If suspected, you need to descend immediately and receive medical treatment for these: High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) produces excess fluid on the lungs, causing breathlessness even when resting,and you feel very fatigued and weak and may feel like you’re suffocating. High-altitude cerebral edema[B] [/B](HACE) involves excess fluid on the brain, causing brain swelling, and you may experience confusion, lack of coordination and possibly violent behavior. [/QUOTE]
