    My Wife and I are going to Switzerland next April and plan to go up the Jungfraujoch. My question is, as my wife has a little high blood pressure situation – should she take aspirin as a precaution because of the height and the thin air?
    Thank you Friends

    I think the best option is asking your GP, or other doctor who is aware of your wife’s situation. If I were you, that is what I would do… Lots of success, I hope both of you will enjoy Jungfraujoch without any problem!

    Yes it can be scary place if she has already had problems at high altitude. Take it VERY easy at the top !
    I was nauseous and dizzy there, and it is VERY VERY cold !
