"potentially fatal and even life threatening" did it for me. Mind you, I was surprised I lasted that long.

Did you listen to the video? Altitude sickness starts to appear from about 8'000 ft/2'500 m. Neither Denver nor México City are that high.

Thanks a bunch . It helped me alot in my science project. The video is amazing

I suffered from acute altitude sickness during a hiking trip. Felt like I was having an asthma attack (I don’t have asthma) as I was going to sleep in my tent. I was perfectly fine in the morning, but damn if that wasn’t the scariest evening of my life...

I’m going skiing in Breckenridge next week and I’ve never been to a sea level higher than that of the Smoky Mountains, so to say I’m a bit worried would be an understatement lol. Not gonna lie, your experience sounds quite frightening! Glad you were okay when all was said and done. I know that was extremely scary

All due respects if you don't have asthma you have no idea what an asthma attack feels like. So you can't say it felt like that.

It would appear Altitude Sickness is the reversal of catching the Bins when diving Fascinating

Your videos are amazing ... watching symptoms through animation is best part in your videos and it's made easier to remember.

So what you're saying is, I don't need to climb Everest to die on a mountain?

@@MedicalCentric So, following this logic, fighter pilots don’t get these symptoms because of their oxygen masks, good to know. Cheers

Just went heli skiing for the first time and had to stop pretty early on as i was showing signs of HACE. Its been well over 24 hours and i still have a dry crackly cough. Not sure if i should wait it out or go see a doctor.

What is the elevation?

What does it mean when I have a line of pain from my ear to my to brain ?

@MedicalCentric

11 ай бұрын

Experiencing a line of pain from your ear to your brain could be indicative of several possible conditions. One possibility is that you may be experiencing referred pain, where pain originating from one area is felt in another area of the body. In this case, the source of the pain could be in the ear, such as an ear infection or inflammation, and the pain is radiating along a nerve pathway towards the brain. Another potential cause could be a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for transmitting sensations from the face, including the ear, to the brain. If this nerve becomes irritated or compressed, it can cause sharp, shooting pain along its pathway, which can extend from the ear to the brain. Other conditions that may cause pain from the ear to the brain include temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, where issues with the jaw joint can lead to referred pain in the ear and surrounding areas, as well as certain types of headaches, such as migraines or cluster headaches, which can cause pain that radiates from the head to the ear. Given the potential range of causes and the importance of an accurate diagnosis, it is recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional, such as a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist). They will be able to evaluate your symptoms, conduct a physical examination, and, if necessary, order additional tests to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
