Dr. Houston,
You asked for those who have had interesting maladies at altitude to share
them with you.
This summer I was in Colorado between 10000' and 14000' for the whole
month of July. Two years ago, I had a deviated septum corrected and
reconstructive surgery - rinaplasty (exuse the spelling of these medical
terms, please). My operation and recovery was superb and I experienced no
problems from the operation. However, midway through this July, at altitude,
I noticed my nose had swelled somewhat. I had the traditional flu like
symptoms initially, that left me with the sniffles. The "inner panel" (as my
surgeon refers to it) the panel that divides the nose into two nostrils, was
swollen and at the time seemed to me to be a cist or something.

Upon my return home (and back to sea level) the swelling went down
considerably and all that remained was a small lump on the right side of my
inner panel of my nose. I checked in with my surgeon and upon exploration of
the lump, he found an absess inside. A suture had become infected. He has
never had that occur before in his patients. There was no reason or
indication for that to have happened. I asked him if altitude could have been
be a factor, but he has not had experience in dealing with that aspect. I was
swimming daily to train for that trip. And i also kayak often. And I asked if
those activities could have been a factor. But the condition, if it was
present beforehand, did not present itself until i was at altitude.

I have not had any problems since, but I have not been back at
altitude either. I do wonder what my experience will be when I go back. Has
anyone presented to you a similiar experience?

Mail me direct or via this network
Joanne
