Altitude sickness is a condition that involves traveling to higher terrains like hill stations and more. As we go higher in altitude from the sea level, the atmospheric pressure tends to decrease, and there is less oxygen in the air. The difference in pressure and reduced availability of oxygen make one sick. One may suffer mild headaches to severe breathlessness. If an individual's body is incapable of adapting to the changes in altitude, one may require medical assistance.
