      Hypoxia is a condition in which our body or part of our body does not get enough oxygen.

      If only part of our body have hyposia, we may feel cold and appear pale, and may even go blue if it is serious.

      Hypoxia may also happen when we climb a mountain, where there is less oxygen. In that cause, hypoxia will cause light-headedness, numbess, and nausea (sick).

      REstriction of oxygen 🙁 Our cells require oxygen to work and without it we die :/ But first certain body functions shut down and eventually the brain will, so you can survive a limited time with hypoxia
