NREL: Visiting NREL - Altitude Information
Acute Mountain Sickness is a mild form of Altitude Sickness that effects 20% to 30% of visitors to Colorado. The symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, and trouble sleeping. A.M.S. looks and feels like the flu. Most people experience the symptoms of A.M.S. within the first three days of arrival. The symptoms usually go away by the fourth day.

Altitude Sickness
Altitude Sickness is divided into three syndromes: acute mountain Sickness (AMS), high-Altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-Altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Symptoms of AMS can include headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and occasionally vomiting; they may clear up if affected travelers remain at the same Altitude to acclimatize. HACE and HAPE are more severe conditions, marked by lethargy, confusion and/ or shortness of breath. Anyone displaying these symptoms should descend to a lower Altitude without delay, and report to a medical professional as soon as possible.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a mild form of Altitude Sickness that looks and feels like the "flu." The symptoms may being six to 48 hours upon ascent, with greater effects with higher altitudes. In the context of a recent ascent above 6,000 feet, a headache , with any one or more of the following symptoms qualifies as a diagnosis of AMS:

What is Mountain Sickness?
Often starting at an Altitude of 10,000 feet, Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), or Altitude Sickness, may begin with hangover-like symptoms such as headache and nausea. These initial symptoms generally occur when people ascend too quickly. It is common to suffer from AMS. For example, at 14,000 ft even after having ascended slowly (ie about 1000 to 1500ft gain in sleeping Altitude per day), 30 % of people are stricken by these hangover symptoms. For most people these symptoms will spontaneously go away after a day or two of rest at the same Altitude or, if the symptoms get worse, by descending to a lower Altitude.
