It goes without saying that you need to be careful at altitude. At Everest you will find the symptoms even more prevelant than usual. We found that in our grouo majority were affected with headaches as well as fatigue. Even our drivers were affected!!

Be smart and drink heaps of water - I mean at least 4L per day and go to bed and rest as much as you can. Definitely DON'T drink alcohol whilst at altitude. You'll get very drunk, very quickly and made yourself sick.

General rule, take it easy and if you're still sick, descend, descend, descend.
