Pangboche Monastery. I was experiencing high altitude periodic breathing while at Dingboche and Chukhung. I felt OK trekking, but was unable to sleep at night, repeatedly waking and struggling for breath as soon as I started to drop off to sleep. Very unpleasant, I had to sit up all night. I decided to decended to Pangboche. My original plan was to cross Cho La to Gokyo but changed my plan and spent 2 nights at lower altitude, checked in with a Doctor in Pangboche to make sure all was OK (I'm 63), blood oxygen was good. Then trekked toward Gokyo via Phortse, Dole and Machermo.
