dealing with hills and altitude changes

Idk what it is but I feel that way too specifically in VA and PA. Try motion sickness pills....

 

It is you. How's your blood pressure? Exercise? Whatever it is, hopefully it is an ear canal or sinus, they're pretty easily treated. Those hills may be annoying, but the highest "mountain" on the east coast is less than 5,000' above sea level. The Rockies are laughing.

 

I once had a brief episode of dizziness that turned out to be having air on recirculation when team driving with someone that had a morbid fear of fresh air. Opening a window and opening the air system to fresh air cleared it right up.

Regarding actual altitude sickness, you can safely go over 10000 feet if you get there gradually. On big mountains that required ferrying loads we had a saying to "climb high and sleep low". The rule of thumb was 1000 feet per day if you plan on being at altitude for a length of time. When guiding Mt. Rainier about half the folks that went from sea level to 10,000 feet in one day would get sick. If I had them sleep at 7,500 feet the first night and then move up to 11,000 feet the second night before going for the 14,410 foot summit, I never had anyone get sick.

 

shouldn't be having that problem....PA is what 3,000 ft?

 

only time i have a problem is in colorado at 12,000 + feet. but it's a rare occasion and don't last long.

 

Denver would leave him comatose.

 

needles ca 450 feet elevation 220 miles later in flagstaff az 7330 feet.....and pa makes you sick...go see a doctor

 

No offense Brother, But it's definately you! I would see a Doctor ASAP! That's not normal.

If you can't handle Pennsylvania, I wouldn't take a load anywhere past West Texas or Western OK, Ks,Ne, N&Sd or your in serious trouble. No Joke, It's all Uphill (and back down) from there. You would "spontaniously combust" when you reach the continental divide.

All joking aside, that's not normal. I would see a Dr ASAP. Or your in SERIOUS trouble if you get sent out here. We have ACTUAL Mountains out here. We call what you have "speed bumps"!!!

No joke, Go see a Doc!!!

 

I agree with others, see a doc. Diabetes could be another issue raising it's ugly head.

On another note, at least you did not try and call them mountains. BTW the highest peak on the east coast is something like 6500 feet and out west you have passes that are higher than that.
