Three, altitude sickness related matters needing attention

After entering the plateau from the sea level area, due to the depression of the plateau atmosphere, thin air and low oxygen content, coupled with cold and dryness, a series of adverse symptoms will appear at different altitudes, which becomes altitude sickness. When entering the altitude of 3000M for the first time, people will have altitude sickness, such as dizziness and headache. Using drugs, comprehensive exercise and other methods will help them adapt to the hypoxia environment at high altitude. Climbing to a higher altitude, some symptoms of some people with good systems and strong adaptability have been alleviated.

Above 3900 meters above sea level, the lower the partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere, the more serious the degree of hypoxia will be. The occurrence of altitude sickness is related to many factors, such as physical condition, amount of exercise and environment at that time. If possible, take rhodiola for 7- 10 days before departure to help the body lay a good foundation for prevention, and take blue pills after entering the plateau to help the body adapt. The adaptation problem will not be great.
