The cabin air pressure in an airplane is adjusted to compensate for these high altitudes. The oxygen level is comparable to levels found in elevations of 5,000 to 9,000 feet. Both men and women can get altitude sickness.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a MULTIPLE MYELOMA PANEL - FLOW CYTOMETRY Test or Take a CELIAC DISEASE PROFILE COMPREHENSIVE (GLIADIN AB.IGG AND IGA,TTG IGA,ENDOMYSIAL IGA) Test
