Have her try iron supplimnets. I get altitude sickness when I go skiing in the rockies and it helps. Of course, up there on top of the mountain, you are at 10,000 to 13,000 feet or so. THe applications are significantly lower. From what I could find online the towns (in the mountains) in far western NC average 3,500ft to 4,500ft in elevation, with Mt. Mitchell being the highest point in NC (and east of the mississippi) at 6,600 ft. (Which is higher than Denver, CO... interesting).

Going from zero feet to 4,000 could cause someone to be sick, but its not super high. Have her try the claritin and the iron. Hopefully she will feel better.
