| The independent article is a mash up of a study which is .. geographically challenged , and the reporters opinion : ""A common experience at altitude is how breathing fails to keep pace with the demands of the body which triggers involuntary gasps for air and a feeling of suffocation. A conscious effort to breathe faster and deeper is necessary as part of acclimatisation." A physiologist would never say this, or imply that you have any real conscious long term control over breathing: periodic breathing comes from ventilating off too much carbon dioxide , which changes the blood pH - and the body has near zero tolerance for changed pH , it will shut down breathing until this is corrected. The "gasp" comes when breathing starts again . Early acclimatization is about changing pH first , to allow hyperventilation. Either on it´s own , or with the help of Diamox.
