Altitude sickness at Neuschwanstein Castle?

We Answered:

No, you shouldn't have a problem at Neuschwanstein - Pike's Peak is a lot higher at over 14,000 ft. My home in Colorado is not far from Pike's Peak and I can feel a difference between the altitude around Denver and the top of Pike's Peak or Mount Evans even when I've been acclimated to the Denver area. I've never had a problem at Neuschwanstein in 5 or 6 trips there.

Is your doctor a "quack"?

We Answered:

I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!
I reported some really bad side effects (dizzyness, headaches, etc) with this medicine I was taking, and he kept on telling me to give it another six months and refilling my percription! I have low blood pressure and anxiety about meds because of this jerk.

Avoiding Altitude Sickness?

We Answered:

When we've traveled to high altitude areas like the Himalayas or the Andes, we've taken Diamox (Acetazolamide). It's a prescription that helps prevent altitude sickness and actually is used to treat it.

Andy Said:

does airborne medicine help with altitude sickness?

We Answered:

Airborne medicine doesn't work, they just settled a lawsuit about it. I believe you are asking about motion sickness medicine, possibly if what you are having issues with is too much motion, such as back and forth movements.

Altitude sickness?

We Answered:

drinking loads of water is kind of the main thing...its about the only thing that helps, you should drink it while your going to altitude and while your at altitude.
I know there are some tablets you can get to combat altitude sickness but i dont know how well they work...
