Altitude sickness, which is caused by lower oxygen levels and reduced air pressure at high elevations, affects many people who visit mountainous regions or engage in activities such as hiking, skiing, or climbing above 8,000 feet. People traveling from sea level to Colorado may experience symptoms of altitude sickness until their bodies adjust to the new conditions.
At Mobile IV Colorado, we can assist you by providing an IV for altitude sickness wherever you are in the Denver area. When you contact us, one of our experienced paramedics will arrive at your location and administer IV therapy designed to rehydrate the body and alleviate symptoms associated with high elevation.
Our recommended IV for Nausea is the Myers Cocktail with an anti-nausea medication.
Because acute mountain sickness is associated with high elevation, the symptoms are caused by low air pressure and a lack of oxygen. Symptoms usually appear when a person rapidly ascends to a high altitude without giving the body time to adjust. Alcohol consumption prior to fully acclimating can also increase the risk of acute mountain sickness, as can medical problems with the heart, lungs, or nervous system.
Altitude sickness is something travelers and climbers should take seriously. At Mobile IV Colorado, we can offer an effective and affordable IV drip therapy for altitude sickness symptoms whenever and wherever you need it. Once your symptoms have passed and you've acclimated to the high elevation, you can get back to enjoying the beautiful sights Colorado has to offer. To schedule an appointment to get IV fluids for altitude sickness, call or text us at 720-575-0973 now, or contact us online.
