High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema Symptoms
People who travel to or exercise in high-altitude areas may develop fluid in the lungs, also known as high-altitude pulmonary edema, or HAPE. Their symptoms may be worse at night.
A headache may be the first sign of HAPE, and the person may notice shortness of breath during exercise. They may feel weak and have chest pain and a low-grade fever. A dry cough may develop, later becoming productive with a frothy, pink sputum.1‘Pulmonary Edema.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-edema/symptoms-causes/syc-20377009
