Travel to high altitude with lung condition: Need to take precautions?

So sorry to heat about your trip. When I was reading your post a couple of questions popped into my head. The humidifier you used was that brought by you or supplied by hotel? If supplied by someone it might not be very clean that's why the breathing issues. Ceiling fan same problem when you run that in a new environment it kicks up dust your body might not tolerate. To bad you couldn't enjoy the higher altitudes durning the day and drive to a lower altitude at night. Oh well you got back home safe and sound with a couple of bad memories but please dont let that detour you from traveling further because life's to short take care have a blessed day dave.

Good Morning, Dave. Yes, the humidifiers were supplied in each of the bedrooms at the resort. We were impressed they were provided and never thought of them not being cleaned, or the dust on the ceiling fans! We won't make that assumption again. Thank you.

@sistertwo- I knew that you were very leery of going, and, as it turned out, for very good reasons. You must have been very angry and concerned the entire time. I remember one time visiting my son for the first time in Boulder. The dry air was great for my hair but very tough to hydrate. I must have drunk gallons of water.
I think that many people who are tied to a machine feel the way you did about your husband. I also think that since it is life saving that in itself is a payoff. It's very difficult to put ourselves in a position like that. Are your husband O2 levels back to his normal level?
