When traveling to higher altitudes, there are possible medical conditions to be aware of, such as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) or swelling of the brain, and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or fluid back-up in the lungs. In most cases, these conditions can be avoided by ascending slowly and allowing your body to adjust as you go. In addition, altitude sickness prescriptions are available to help your body acclimate to high altitudes. Your travel medicine clinician can help determine which medications are right for you, if you plan any high-altitude activities.
We offer same-day and next-day appointments and allow you to book your appointments online.
Any traveler can experience signs and symptoms of altitude sickness if they go above 8,000 ft (2,500 m). Some can even experience altitude sickness at lower altitudes. A traveler's prior response to high altitude does not guarantee they will have the same response on future trips. With this in mind, it's important to acknowledge the life-threatening effects AMS, HACE, and HAPE can have.
The travel medicine experts at e7 Health want to assist in reducing your risk of altitude sickness and the potential subsequent effects. An altitude sickness prescription, along with the counseling provided by e7 Health's travel medicine clinicians, can help aid in acclimatization, reducing and possibly preventing these effects.
At e7 Health, your clinician can help determine which altitude sicknness prescription is best for you based on your medical history and provide you the necessary counseling based on your travel itinerary.
If you will be traveling internationally, you should see a travel medicine doctor or clinician at least 4 to 6 weeks prior to your departure. He/she can prescribe medications and recommend any vaccines that may be indicated for your trip.
You should take your altitude sickness prescription as directed by the prescribing provider.
Altitude sickness is an illness due to sudden ascent to high altitudes, generally above 8000 feet.

OMG, so e7 is one-of-a-kind in Vegas. My husband needed a TB Skin Test and I was able to book for the next hour. The staff actually answers the phone, right away. They are kind and nice. Upon arrival, at e7 Windmill location, the receptionist (who's name I do not have) was so kind, nice, and caring. She's a gem. During our brief wait for my husband's appointment, I witnessed the interaction between staff members and also, their clients. It's amazing that the entire, big e7 Team loves each other and what they do. You do not see this anywhere else. The team's interaction was magical. AND then how each staff member interacts with their patient, well... just unique. My husband had Alia, who definitely folded her Angel Wings in to fit in to the treatment room. What an amazing being. So patient, as my husband was on a walker and not so ambulatory. She explained all so clearly and easily. Truly, we have never experienced such CARE not just in Vegas, but anywhere. She also went above-and-beyond for us as to the next step. e7 scared me at first online, but now, they are my Go To and I have already recommended to many. God bless Alia and all. The Team truly LOVE what they do and it shows.
