    I have heard from folks that people with high blood pressure can have issues at the top, with breathing difficulty. Any advice regarding this? My wife and I will be 68 and 65 when we go there and both of take blood pressure medication. Are any portable oxygen equipment available? Cost details? Thanks in advance.
