TIPS FOR TRAVELERS
If you are use to an elevation lower than Helena's 4,157 feet
above sea level, you may experience some side effects from the
high altitude. What are some of the effects? You may feel lightheaded,
dizzy, thirsty, have headaches, breathing problems, sleeplessness,
or heart palpations. To make you high altitude experience more
pleasurable make sure to drink plenty of water, plan your first
couple of days to include lots of rest periods so your body has
time to adjust, and avoid alcohol because one drink in at higher
elevations can equal three drinks at sea level. If you are under
a doctor's care, it is also a good idea to let him or her know
you are planning a trip that will include higher elevations.
They may have additional tips or wish to change medication levels,
etc.
Are you traveling with little fur babies? Then you'll be glad
to know that you'll find vets at the Animal Center, 1301 Cedar
Rd., 406-442-3160; and the Helena Veterinary Service, 2830 N
Montana Ave, 406-442-6450.
