I had HAPE, high altitude pulmonary edema (fluid in my lungs) the first time I ever went skiing. Had to use supplemental oxygen for last 3 days of the trip.
This happened to me a few years back except it almost resulted in permanent brain damage due to extremely low blood oxygen levels (when the paramedics arrived it was in the low 60s).Thought I just had a cold from being in a different environment but overnight it escalated into me not even being able to walk straight. Spent the next five days in the Denver hospital hooked up to oxygen.
It was completely random, I'd been skiing all over the place at similar altitudes before but this particular time it just gave me an arse whoopin.
