Due to low air pressure, mountaineers sometimes suffer from dizziness. It can also lead to hypoxia. (Hypoxia is a condition wherein a region of the body is deprived of a sufficient supply of oxygen at the tissue level. Hence, to avoid such issues arising due to insufficient oxygen, mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders.)
