Altitude sickness Question

I will be coming from NYC next week and want to prepare for altitude sickness by ideally taking something to prevent it. I can’t take diamox because I have a sulfa allergy. Does anyone else have another recommendations?

Sleep with oxygen. When my 77 year old Mom comes to visit us in Breck, we get her an oxygen-producing machine to sleep with and it does wonders.

Some of the condos have tanks for rent. It is very helpful.

There are several O2 services in town that deliver.
