Your body struggles to adapt to the lower levels of oxygen in the air and you can feel dizzy, tired, or short of breath. You might also have a headache and nausea.</p> <p>If you’re planning to travel somewhere above an altitude of 3000 metres, we can prescribe Acetazolamide tablets <a href="/off-label-medicines">off-label</a>, if appropriate for you. When taken correctly, the tablets can help your body to get used to higher altitudes more quickly.</p> <a href="https://onlinedoctor-clinic.boots.com/Altitude-Sickness" class="get-started-btn btn btn--large ">GET STARTED</a> </div> </div> </section> <div class="promo"> <div class="promo__container"> <div> <div class="promo__container__with-image"> <div class="promo__container__image"> <img src="https://assets.lemonaidhealth.co.uk/web/brochure/images/illustrations-clear-background/Boots_illustration_Pill_bottle.png" alt=""/> </div> </div> <div class="promo__container__info"> <h3 class="promo__container__info__treatment ">We offer Acetazolamide tablets to prevent altitude sickness.</h3> <a href="/altitude-sickness-important-info" class="promo__container__info__important-info ">Learn important information about Acetazolamide tablets.</a> </div> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <section class="video"> <div class="video__container"> <div class="video__title"> <h4 >Get the facts about altitude sickness from Dr Christina</h4> </div> <div class="video__wrapper video--horizontal"> <div class="video__play-btn"> <div class="video__play-btn__icon"></div> </div> <video controls preload="metadata"> <source src="https://assets.lemonaidhealth.co.uk/videos/boots-services/Altitude-Sickness.mp4#t=0.1" type="video/mp4"> The video tag is not supported by your browser </video> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section section--light section--narrow section--tall"> <div class="section__container"> <div class='section__headline'> <h2 >Learn more about altitude sickness</h2> </div> <div class="section__content"> <p>What are the symptoms of altitude sickness?
