I have a question: could you or your partner hear the crackles while you were doing your descent? When did you start to hear the crackles?


We really didn't hear any crackles in my breathing until the last couple hours of our descent and it got progressively worse for the next 48 hours. The ER doctor said many HAPE cases get worse before they get better.
