The cause is hypoxia but the pathophysiology of the diseases is a complex mixture of multiple factors, involving the human response to hypoxia. The most common symptom is headache, but loss of appetite, nausea and sleep disturbances are also common complaints. With rapid or high ascent there is increased risk of acute mountain sickness, with severe headache that responds poorly to pain medications, nausea, vomiting and extreme fatigue as the most common symptoms. The most severe forms of high-altitude sickness are high ...
