What kind of physical examination do you need to do to go to Tibet?

The altitude of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is high, which easily leads to human hypoxia and altitude sickness. If the heart is in a critical state at ordinary times, even if you don't feel unwell at ordinary times, once you enter the plateau area, it is easy to induce angina pectoris due to physical exhaustion or extreme state, and the consequences are unimaginable. Especially those who have a history of heart disease, respiratory diseases, anemia and digestive tract ulcers should be highly valued. Physical examination includes respiratory gas analysis and electrocardiogram exercise test to understand its adaptability to hypoxia. And accept relevant physical fitness tests to see if there are diseases or some hidden visceral diseases. If you suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, active tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, various respiratory insufficiency, organic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, and have high altitude pulmonary edema, high altitude cerebral edema, high altitude hypertension, high altitude heart disease, high altitude polycythemia, etc. It is not suitable to travel to the plateau.

Even if you have all the conditions to travel to the plateau, you should make full preparations before you leave, such as storing some first-aid drugs in moderation, and don't catch a cold, otherwise altitude sickness will easily occur to varying degrees after your resistance is reduced.
