Have you ever had jet lag? Thats more what altitude sickness is like, more of a nausea and swimming head kind of feeling. It wont really affect the way you breathe until you start exerting yourself a bit. I dont think anyone is more or less prone to getting it though, but im no doctor. When i lived there, i would get it when driving thru the mountains, because you change altitude so quickly and so often. But it goes away, if you start feeling real run down and tired and achy and sick, rest for a while, maybe take some pain reliever if you have a headache. You should feel better before long.What are the chances of getting altitude sickness?
