Hello all,
This past weekend my family and I drove up Mt. Lemmon near Tucson Arizona. We then rode up the ski lift to the very top of the mountain, elevation of about 9,000 msl. I have never had any issues with altitude / elevation in my pre concussion days, only having to breathe a tad deeper to adapt to the lesser amount of oxygen. However, after about 10 minutes on the top of the mountain, my brain is doing some strange things in trying to adapt to the slightly thinner air. What my brain was feeling wasn't painful, nor was it anything I've been experiencing in the past 2 years of this PCS fun, and it can only best be described as if my brain was trying to adjust (it was a noticeable feeling - weird I know), and was having trouble doing so. So, I was getting a tad dizzy, and opted to go back down the ski lift to the parking lot. Felt fine once I got there, and brain stopped feeling weird. Unfortunately, (seems like our adventures in PCS always has an 'unfortunately' in there somewhere) I've been having slight headache, fog, and way more fatigue for almost a week. Anybody ever have this? ![]() Hope everyone has had a good week out there ![]() Mike Last edited by PCS Mikey; 09-09-2011 at 05:15 PM. Reason: for clarity. |
