IO Im sorry there old chap but I have to disagree . Unless for some reason you think Im fibbing like a fibbing thing . I was suffering from , or rather should I say I was displaying symptoms of hypoxia from 85 upwards . This is not odd , strange or abnormal , and there is nothing wrong with me .I am fully fit and have ony recently done a class one , this coupled with the mediclas I have to have every 6 months for work confirms this . Any text you read with regard to hypoxia will tell you that a reduction in partial pressure of oxygen can be very sensitive to the body and a cabin pressure equivalent to 8000 ft produces a detectable impairment inmental performance . This increases with altitude , although most people can compensate up to 10-12 this is not the case for everybody . I am not a smoker not do I have any medical problems . But thanks for the scare mongering , However if you are an AME I will bow down to your greater intimate knowledge of my body and tell the boys at gatwick that you disagree with them
