Altitude problems at NJH?

Posted by cattleya @cattleya, Nov 18, 2024

Hi Everyone. I was just wondering if those of you who have travelled to NJH in Denver had any breathing difficulty with the altitude in Denver. If so, how did you handle it?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I lived in the Denver area for about 26 years. I finally had to move because I got a bad sinus infection every winter for the last 15 years there. For some years I lived in the foothills overlooking Denver. I could see the horrible air pollution in winter due to pm 2.5. It was especially bad on warmer, sunny days in winter. Once I moved away (in 2007), my winter sinus infections stopped happening.

I moved from North of Denver after 25 years. My spo2 drops even more with colder temperatures. My spo2 is an average of 5% higher at sea level. No SOB here
