Will there be altitude sickness when traveling to Lijiang? How to deal with it?

Question: How to prevent altitude sickness? What preparations have you made? Answer: Lijiang is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and generally there will be no altitude sickness, but if you go to Yulong Snow Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Lijiang, there may be altitude sickness. Many people are either careless or nervous about altitude sickness. Most people have mild or severe altitude sickness when they first arrive at the plateau. The best way to avoid or reduce altitude sickness is to keep a good attitude towards it. In fact, parents who have just arrived in Lijiang should not decide the next trip too early, especially friends from low-altitude areas to Lijiang, who need to pay special attention to this issue. Because many people have no obvious altitude sickness on the first day, they will have obvious reactions on the second or third day. So when you arrive in Lijiang on the first day, please don't decide the next trip in a hurry, don't run and jump, try to rest, and decide the next trip when there is no obvious problem in your body the next day. Ordinary travelers will live in Dayan Ancient City, also known as Old Town of Lijiang. The altitude of the ancient city is only about 2400, and the Yulong Snow Mountain reached 4506 as soon as it got on the ropeway. When a person reaches 3000, his body will have a natural reaction, or he will have difficulty breathing, or his heart will beat faster and he will have a headache. This is actually normal, please don't be too nervous. Symptoms of altitude sickness generally include headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anorexia, low fever, dizziness and fatigue. Some people appear because of low oxygen content: purple lips and fingertips, lethargy, hyperactivity, insomnia and other different manifestations. Some people appear because of dry air: rough skin, chapped lips, bleeding nostrils or blood clots. 1, keep a good attitude, eliminate fear, avoid mental stress, and let the body get a full rest. 2. If there are obvious lesions in the heart, lungs, brain, liver and kidney, patients with severe anemia, heart disease or hypertension, please be cautious to go to the plateau area. Tourists with high blood pressure and heart disease should insist on taking medicine. If there is any discomfort in the special responsibility system, it should be diagnosed in time. 3. Before entering the plateau, you can consult people who have lived in the plateau for precautions. If you can't find someone to ask, please use the search engine to collect information, so as to be aware of it and avoid blind nervousness. 4. Before entering the plateau, you suffered from respiratory diseases such as colds. Please give up your travel plan decisively. A cold is more likely to induce altitude sickness. Before climbing the mountain in the middle of Lijiang, tourists should decide whether to rent oxygen according to their own health status in case of emergency. 6, to the plateau, don't go fast, more can't run or run, also can't do manual labor, don't overeat, so as not to increase the burden of digestive organs, don't drink and smoke, eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, pay attention to keep warm, take fewer baths, and avoid wasting energy with a cold. Don't take oxygen at first, try to adapt yourself, otherwise you may never be able to live without oxygen at the plateau. 7. If you are old, please take Rhodiola and American ginseng properly before going out to enhance your body's anti-hypoxia ability. But do not overdo it, dear friends. Taking medicine is only an auxiliary effect, which does not necessarily guarantee that you can avoid altitude sickness. 8. Parents who usually have exercise habits should not treat them casually for physical reasons. People who have exercise habits need more oxygen every day than those who don't exercise. If they are taken lightly, they will be more prone to altitude sickness than ordinary people. You can take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness: Youyi Vitality Tour (taken 7 days in advance), Rhodiola Plateau (taken at least 10 days in advance), Gaoyuan 'an (taken after arriving in Tibet), American ginseng buccal tablets, Nuodikang capsules (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), Baifuning (for controlling headache caused by altitude sickness), American ginseng (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), and quick-acting. Glucose solution (a box of five sticks, which has certain curative effect when altitude sickness symptoms appear), etc. People with strong adaptability to altitude sickness can generally get rid of altitude sickness symptoms within 1-2 days, while those with weak adaptability need 3-7 days.
