Looks like my wife got high altitude sickness on our trip, it's called hypoxia and she first noticed that her face in her hand started to swell up a little bit, then she started getting a headache the next day, then she started to get really really really irritable, and then she started feeling nauseated she didn't want to eat and just wanted to lay down. By the morning that we left she was so nauseated she started throwing up, and she threw up non stop for about 6 hours, which was a miserable car ride for her.
We got down to elevation low enough in New Mexico just outside of Santa Fe and we stopped in Santa Rosa New Mexico at a medical clinic there and they checked her out.
We didn't put two and two together until she started feeling better today and honestly it probably was the high altitude sickness. I mean we were up over 8,000 feet the entire time within drives up to 11,000 feet up and down, and for a flatlander usually staying under 1000 feet in the dallas-fort Worth area that was just too much for her body to handle.
