Welcome Jim. You will find this site to be a valuable place to hang out. I spent 9 years to find info on CH's and have learned much more in three months than I have seeking an answer. I know four other people here in Athens, GA. That have CH's. I think you will be overwellmed by a a lot of info which is great. I still have been reading post in the archives section. I don't know about the altitude effecting CH,s , but you will adapte to the 02 change ; ask your doc.
If you are taking medication for CHs. Let us know what you were perscribed. It took me 15 years to be diagnosed. Many doctors are aware of the CH syndrome but often use the wrong meds. In some cases, physicians treat them as migrains. Both are loosely related, but require different treatments-I have been there. Seeing a Neurologist is a very important to consider.
Best of luck and come back often
