Surely in the UK it would be H.A.P.O
We spell it differently here.
Since around 1947, millions of lives have been saved and prolonged in the UK by NHS staff such as doctors, surgeons, paramedics and air ambulance crews. However, some lives will have been lost due to a wrong diagnosis, the wrong treatment or simply because an illness had been incurable or an injury too serious.
I was taken by paramedics to a local NHS hospital suffering from hyperventilation following a heart attack. When the doctor came to my bed I told him I suspect H.A.P.E so he said; ''Alright then. We'll get your chest x-rayed''
When the doctor came back to my bedside about four-hours later he told the nurses that I was suffering with H.A.P.E. I then got an injection. I suspect that many people suffer with H.A.P.E, H.A.C.E or A.M.S.

High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) (HAPO spelled oedema in British English)
Dont think we are at high enough altitude at ground level in Caithness for this to be worrisome.

"You probably went to dodgy school in Golspie where some Irish teachers neglected to teach you Gaelic."
I think that's the most insulting and disrespectful post I have seen here in a long time.
Everyone has problems. Don't spit your bile on this forum.
There are neither rights nor wrongs in gardening. Only experiences.
Dadie has already made the point that in British English it is spelled Oedema.
And the high school in Golspie is a good school
And hey, you really don't want to start trading insults on this board. Unless you want restrained at the Ord.
My sense of humour is very much alive and well. Was your original post intended to be humerous? If so it was in very bad taste. And your comment about school in Golspie is unacceptable, even though you may think it is in some way funny. Check my posts, I do funny. But I do not tolerate a*seholes.
I offer an olive branch, maybe I was too quick to respond, and - though it pains me to say it - I kinda like your posts.
Now, where's your sense of humour?
My family is in Aberdeenshire, and when i go up and down the road, my pee-stop is Golspie. Golspie has a nice, and recently refurbished, public lavvie. Golspie also has a decent fish and chip shop. Golspie is the pit stop of choice, for most travellers who aviod Skiach.
Sorry we got off on the wrong foot.

Fair play. All is well with me.

A low air pressure system passing over Thurso or Wick can cause lung and trachea retraction manifesting as an asthma-like attack. This is because air is sucked skyward and away from you. If you are sleeping when a depression passes overhead then you could suffer other nocturnal events or simply awake feeling very depressed.
