High Altitude, Diamox, Inspra and hyperaldosteronism

I am going to elevation 8,000 + for sleeping and skiing up to 11,000

for 2 weeks.

I have hyperaldosteronism and I am using 100 mg of Inspra twice a day.

Also, I have difficulty sleeping and insomnia at high altitudes. I

also have sleep apnea, and I often have nose bleeds from the dry air

as well. I will take my cpap machine. I often have to use a sleep

medication like Ambien to get to sleep.

Questions:

Should I take Diamox as an aid to get used to the high altitude more

quickly, or should I not use Diamox because Diamox can causes

potassium depletion?

Any suggestions besides drinking more water to get used to the higher

altitude more quickly? I normally live at sea level.
