Breathing Problems at High Altitudes

[KathyW]

Phil: I'm glad you did okay on your last trip. I think it's normal to slow down at higher elevations - I crawl up high.

The doctor said my sinus x-rays turned out okay and the procedure she's talking about doing to get rid of the extra blood vessels sounds painful, so I'm just going to struggle along as is for now - I think it will get better when the weather cools down. She did suggest using a saline nasal spray when I get congested and that does seem to help.

Kathy - Good luck with your sinuses! My natural tendency would be to avoid surgery also!!
