What Causes Dizziness And Disorientation After Exposure To Multiple Altitudes?
My husband and I just came back from Yellowstone Nat l Park, we live in Colorado at 9,000 feet. Both of us are experiencing dizziness and some disorientation today, could that be from the multiple changes in altitude from 9,000 feet to 5,000 feet multiple times through out the week?

Hi,
It called altitude sickness and can happen to anybody as not everybody can adjust to all altitudes equally.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
