The 'comfort' of knowledge

I have been concerned/curious about the potential effects of Altitude Mountain Sickness and so decided to order a book about the subject.  After all to be aware is to be prepared.

I now know that complications from AMS can include:
Ataxia; dizziness; extreme fatigue; vomiting; acute headaches; disorientation; hallucination; loss of vision; numbness or personality change; coma; death.

I feel so reassured!  Looks like another sleepless night ahead.
