Wind Awning Sick

I guess you are all wondering whats with this title. Well it all started when the wind kicked up about mid day. It was blowing about 9 mph and all was well. All of a sudden it started gusting at 20 mph! At first I was watching the awning and it was holding it's own but then we started to get worried that it might even go higher. The best thing to do is wait for a lull and then take the awning down. We have it secured with tie downs so we have to wait for the wind to subside so when we take the tie downs off a gust doesn't come along and take the awning off.
OK here comes the wind part:
We had a lull and I started taking the tie downs loose. All of a sudden the wind once again gusted and I freaked out and started racing around getting everything stowed away. You see I have just been here a week and not yet acclimated to the altitude. Soon I was gasping for air and my mind started spinning. I just over did it and when I made it back inside all I could do was set down and try and catch my breath.
Sick part:
I got altitude sickness the next day and could hardly move. I felt like I weighed 1000 lbs. I spent the entire day in my recliner sleeping. I did not eat and that made me feel even worse. I was worried that by sleeping all day I would not be able to sleep at night but that was nothing to worry about I slept like a baby.
Today I plan on staying inside and getting better before I head outside again...
