Hey guys. Right now I'm on Mt.Fuji, near 3.000m mark. After staying at the resort for 3 hours I started feeling symptoms of altitude sickness. I have asthma so I use my inhaler to get better. When I lie down it gets a bit harder to breath, and I don't seem to be able to sleep. I'm not a light sleeper at all. I have a little headache that feels like nothing to be honest.
I was thinking of leaving my hut in 5-6 hours to see the sunset. But the hike is going to take 3 hours and the elevation I will have to traverse will be 700 meters more.
Do I wait? Do I try to acclimatise? Do I ask people for medicine? I started drinking more water because I was sweating bullets. I'm not used to hikes but I really want to get to the top and descend. Will I die if I do that? Please advise.
