Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
