I had severe altitude sickness over the weekend in Breckenridge Colorado. Had to be rushed to the ER. My oxygen level reached low 80 s and I m a two time heart attack victom on blood thinners and 10 stents. I tried to go to the gym today and do my usual workout. Had to stop after 10 minutes my legs feel weird! Like weak and wobbly! Been back in Ft Worth for three days now. How long before I feel normal again. ?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You probably developed high altitude pulmonary edema that is a moderate to severe complication of altitude sickness. Mild to moderate symptoms of altitude sickness reverse about in 3-4 days after turning back to normal highs. Severe complications need few weeks before you get to normal state. So in my opinion there is need to avoid efforts for a couple of weeks before getting back to gym. Hope this helps. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
