However, I once blasted straight from GB to Obermonchjoch hut in a day (plane/train) and was extremely sick and headache, couldn't eat or sleep; but forced myself up Monch following day, then Jungfrau the day after, heck of a struggle and should have died! Never again....My chol levels check out normal. I use Diamox in Himalayas etc. Still often need a couple more days than my mates - v annoying.merrylegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320217601549246853noreply@blogger.com
