What symptom is an early indicator of acute mountain sickness (AMS)?

Blurry vision
Loss of appetite and fatigue
Skin rash
Frequent yawning

The correct answer is: Loss of appetite and fatigue

AMS is a condition that occurs when the body experiences difficulty adjusting to high altitudes. While blurry vision, skin rash, and frequent yawning may be possible symptoms of AMS, they are not typically early indicators. Loss of appetite and fatigue are common early symptoms of AMS and can help identify the condition before more serious symptoms develop.
