High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a serious lung condition that may develop when you’re at high altitudes. Pulmonary edema is when fluid builds up in your lungs. In the case of HAPE, lower oxygen intake at high altitudes causes your blood vessels to narrow, leading to this fluid buildup.
HAPE is one of three types of altitude sickness.
The other two are –
1.) acute mountain sickness (AMS)
2.) high altitude cerebral edema (HACE).
If u have AMS, symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and headache resolve within 12 to 48 hours after your body acclimates to the higher altitude. With HAPE, symptoms start up to 5 days after you’ve reached a high altitude, and it can take 2 to 3 days to completely recover.
HAPE develops due to exposure to low oxygen levels at high altitudes. Environmental factors, such as cold air, can worsen your symptoms by increasing pressure on the lungs
Your risk for altitude illness may be greatest above (about 2,500 meters). The risk is especially high if you ascend too quickly and don’t allow time for your body to acclimate slowly.
While it’s rare to experience HAPE at altitudes lower than this, it’s still possible, especially if you have a history of HAPE.
Other risk factors include:
• using sleep medication
• consuming too much salt
• having underlying health conditions that affect blood flow to your lungs
AMS is common in adults while while HAPE occurs more often in children and young adults regardless of health
