Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am visiting Darjeeling in the next month. I have asthma, thalassemia E type so less haemoglobin, mother of a 30 month old child and lactating and taking fulcover tablets regularly. I am from Guwahati. Since, I have asthma, will there be any issues with a high altitude place like Darjeeling? What kind of medical issues I might face due to height? Any emergency medicines I need to carry? And for the child also? I take asthalin also and earlier faced breathlessness when visiting high altitude places like this. Kindly suggest.
