I suffer from constant hyperventation so experience constant facial and extremities numbness and shortness of breath, light headedness. i have to fly to la paz for a week. la paz is at 4000m. will this be dangerous because of hypoxia/ vasoconstrictio?

A pulmonary evaluation including a challenge test may be helpful. A stroke should be ruled out and a chest image, oxygen saturation test considered prior to the flight. More details would be helpful. Watch for signs of dizziness, stay well hydrated. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
