miracles of quran Lack of oxygen at altitude



Another Quran Miracles is in Sura 6, Al-An'am part
8 (125)


"And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to
Islam and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and
constricted, as if he is climping up to the sky. Thus Allah puts the warth on
those who believe not"


"He makes his breast closed and constricted,
as if he is climping up to the sky."

The science has proofed that people
get sick at high altitudes, such as in the mountains. This is called mountain
sickness or high-altitude sickness.

What causes this problem?

Lack
of oxygen causes high-altitude sickness. As altitude increases, the air becomes
"thinner," which means less oxygen is in the atmosphere. You get less oxygen in
your lungs with each breath, so the amount of oxygen in your blood declines.
(This is called hypoxia) (hi-POKS'e-ah).

Symptoms usually begin within
48 hours of arriving at high altitude. The higher the altitude, the greater the
effects. People can notice effects when they go to an altitude of 7,000 to 8,000
feet. Some Symptoms that high altitudes causes to people. headaches,
breathlessness, fatigue
nausea or vomiting
inability to sleep

swelling of the face, hands and feet

Both heart rate and breathing
rate increase as the body tries to send more oxygen to its tissues. At very high
altitudes, body fluid can leak into the brain (called brain or cerebral edema)
or into the lungs (pulmonary edema). Both these conditions can be serious or
even life-threatening

This hard conditions that people get at high
altitudes is described in the same symptoms in above ayah
