Hypoxia and Medicine

I love high altitudes. I have been up to about 15,ooo feet.I heard your body PH changes.What does that mean???

Many people around me have gotten altitude sickness. Even the ones that don't aren't so energetic. I am not a runner but when I get to elavation I just want to run around. Have a little problem with breathlessness but goes away when I rest. What's going on in my body and why do I feel so much better?

1. pH levels haveta do with the acidity level in the body
2. PH is percentage of hydrogen
3. pH is how acidic or how alkaline a substance is. Everything has a pH value. You probably enjoy the feeling because of the fact it's a lot " tighter " up there, because of the pressure difference.
4. What are you taking? I want some. I've never flown more than 4 feet high.
5. ph is the acid and base balance of body which plays moajor role in good health
