[quote=Anonymous]Caffeine also helps. You want to hydrate a ton (drip drop or similar helps a lot) but also take diuretics (which is roughly how diamox functions), so the caffeine functions as a mild diuretic. And to answer the ‘can it hit suddenly’ thing, you’re either prone to altitude sickness or not, but that can change with age. So you won’t randomly get sick one trip and be fine for all the rest, but you can get increasingly susceptible with age. By the end of his life, site Edmund hilary had to be medevaced from somewhere significantly lower than Everest base camp for altitude sickness. [/quote]
