What are symptoms of acute mountain sickness?
You're probably wondering about Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), more commonly known as 'altitude sickness'.
Altitude sickness happens when you're not acclimated to the mountains. The symptoms are often described as flu-like, such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, tingling, drowsiness, and general malaise. All of these symptoms are effects of going to a higher elevation, and the symptoms usually resolve in a couple days when the body acclimates.
The best way to avoid altitude sickness is to allow the body maximum time to get used to the change in altitude. Rest for a full day before engaging in more strenuous activities, and drink plenty of water. At higher altitudes, a person is more prone to dehydration. Hydration before the symptoms take place is ideal. Also be sure to eat a balanced diet, even if you don't feel hungry.
If you do end up with altitude sickness, hang in there. You should feel better in a day or two.
What happens when a hurricane encounters mountain range?
No, not really. Most mountains lie further inland, and when hurricanes make landfall, they generally lose strength and fall apart. While some of the affects of a hurricane may be felt on the leeside of a mountain, the hurricane itself would not generally actually make it to the mountains. This is intended of course in mainland type situations. On islands such as those in the Caribbean where there are smaller mountains, many people will evacuate coastal areas to seek shelter higher up the mountains where it is safer to wait out the storm.
