What Causes Excess Weight Gain?

Brief Answer:
Yes, it can be related altitude.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, it can be related altitude,particularly if rise has been rapid (in short time). Body and mostly cardiothoracic system takes time to acclimatized.
So give it few days and everything should be fine, assuming that there is no other health issues.
People with hypertension, liver,lung or kidney issues are more likely to suffer from such symptoms or they take time to acclimatise. So if symptoms persist for long (more than a week ) get tested for these organs.
Hope this helps. Please ask if there are doubts.
Regards
