What is Acute Mountain or High Altitude Sickness?

0

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or High Altitude Sickness occurs as a result of reduced amounts of oxygen found in the air at high altitudes . As altitude increases, the air becomes “thinner,” resulting in less oxygen is in the atmosphere. With less oxygen available for breathing, the amount of oxygen in the blood declines and breathing becomes more difficult.
