See doctor: Although your symptoms are suggestive of high altitude sickness, the 1 km altitude does not usually provoke HAS. The prudent thing to do is to get back to sea level even though I believe that your symptoms are unlikely to be related to the altitude. Can you possibly be dehydrated? See doctor if problem persists or worsens.
