What is Altitude (Acute) Mountain Sickness (AMS)?
Altitude sickness, often known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a particularly important medical consideration while trekking in ourhimalayas with Siniolchu Travels and Treks. Altitude sickness means the effect of altitude on those who ascend too rapidly to elevations above 3000 meters.

The initial symptoms of AMS are as follows:
•Nausea, vomiting Loss of appetite
•Insomnia/sleeplessness Persistent headache
•Dizziness, light headedness, confusion
•Disorientation, drunken gait
•Weakness, fatigue, lassitude
•Heavy legs, Slight swelling of hands and face
•Breathlessness and Breathing irregularity, Reduced urine output

Bread/Butter/Jam/Eggs/Tibetan Bread/Honey/Tea Momo + Egg, Corn, Veg Soup/Baked Beans/Tea/Coffee/Fruits or Porridge with fruits. Drinking Chocolate at bedtime. Tea / Coffee at early morning.

These symptoms are to be taken very seriously. In case of appearance of any of the above symptoms any further ascent should be reconsidered; otherwise more serious, even life-threatening problems can occur. The only cure for Altitude Sickness is to descend to lower elevations immediately. Acclimatization by ascending to no more than 300 to 500 meters per day above 3000 meters, and the proper amount of rest and re hydration are the best methods for prevention of AMS.
