I live at 2500ft and occasionally (maybe 10 times a year) go up to a telescope on a 10,500ft mountain top and stay there for a few days. I've been doing this for 7 years. The observatory keeps oxygen up there for whoever needs it. What I find is that I am fine (pulse ox around 90 - 91, which is low) as long as I don't move or exert myself. As soon as I get out of the car, climb stairs, move around, lug stuff out of a pickup truck into the building, I very quickly become fatigued, can't type straight on the computer, have trouble remembering things and soon get a whopping migraine headache. The best fix I've found for it is to breathe O2 for 15 min. as soon as I get there. Sit still for half an hour or so and breath O2 again for 15 min. Then I start working (I'm a computer nerd) and hit the O2 once an hour for the next few hours. After that, I'm just tired - no headache. The next day I feel OK. I'm planning on getting a portable O2 system for my plane. -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A - painting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
