How safe is it for asthamatic and pacemaker patient to visit high altitude areas?
It is not safe: An asthmatic person has a base condition which impairs him in terms of respiratory function. High altitude air has a lower oxygen concentration which will ask for an increase in respiratory function. Low blood O2 will cause the heart to increase its BPM to compensate for the lack of O2, delivering blood into tissues in a faster rate, so that increment in BPM could produce some kind of alterations (not totally certain). Curious to say that an asthmatic person exposed to higher altitude air has a lesser chance of giving in to an asthmatic attack due to the fact that air at higher altitude has less particles that can trigger an asthmatic attack.

How does altitude impact the amount of precipitation in a given area?
Altitude affects precipitation in a given area by influencing temperature and air pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes cooler and can hold less moisture, leading to less precipitation. This is why higher altitude areas, such as mountains, tend to receive less precipitation than lower altitude areas.

Where is the pacemaker positioned during implant surgery?
After the patient is anesthetized, or sedated and the area numbed, a needle is used to locate and enter the left subclavian arterery. A guide wire allows exchanging a plastic cannula for the needle. Two or more pacing wires are passed to the intended areas of the heart. Each wire is secured by means of a cork screw shaped needle which is twisted into the heart tissue. If the wire locations are proven to be effective by pacing the heart with an external signal generator, the surgeon will create a pocket between the skin and muscle layers about one inch away from where the wirers entered the artery. The wirers are tunneled to the pocket and then connected to the pacemaker. Once the pacer is interrogated wirelessly to enshure proper function, the pocket is sutured closed.
