A member asked:
Why do i get altitude illness if i'm in very good shape? i had blood test and am not anemic with a normal rbc count.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't tough it: Altitude sickness is poorly understood but people's suceptibility to it has little or nothing to do with overall physical conditioning. It's more dangerous than people think. Take your time going to altiltude.
