what causes dizziness and vomiting sensation at high altitude?

Open in App
Solution

At the high altitude, atmospheric pressure is comparatively low. So, the oxygen does not bind to the haemoglobin efficiently. And hence, there is the lack of oxygen in the body tissues, which causes dizziness and vomiting sensation.
