MOUNTAIN SICKNESS
High altitude, or mountain, sickness is a self-limiting disease that anyone that goes too high too fast will experience. It was recorded in ancient Chinese writings more than 2000 years ago. Armies traversing the 16000 foot Kilik Pass in Afghanistan described it as "the great headache mountain."
Symptoms of mountain sickness include headache, shortness of breath, dizziness, insomnia and nausea. These can begin as soon as four hours after reaching heights over 8000 feet. The atmospheric pressure in a typical commercial airplane is equivalent to 6500 - 7500 feet.
Therefore, it was known before that vague statement in Quran. Also, Quran does not say why it happens. Science did not discover the fact that it happens, but why it happens. There is nothing in the statement that you are relying upon about why it happens. The fact that it happened was known more than 600 years before Quran.
