Calling Your Health Care Provider
Call your health care provider if symptoms of acute mountain sickness develop, even if symptoms resolved when returning to a lower altitude.
Call the local emergency number (such as 9-1-1) or seek emergency medical assistance if severe difficulty breathing develops, if consciousness is decreased, if coughing up blood, or if other severe symptoms are present. If unable to contact emergency help, descend immediately, as rapidly as is safely possible.
