A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mountain Sickness: You may have had altitude sickness, which can cause swelling of the hands, eyes, and feet at altitude. You can also develop swelling in the brain, lungs, shortness of breath, and other problems. Please consult a physician and discuss your symptoms, and tell your friends about altitude sickness since you live in very mountainous area. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000133.htm
