Will there be altitude sickness in Tibet? How to alleviate altitude sickness in Tibet?

In fact, you really should be careful when you go to Tibet, because what Xiaobian wants to talk about is altitude sickness in Tibet. It's really painful to encounter altitude sickness, so what should you do at this time? Xiaobian will teach you.

high opposition

1. I'm in poor health at home. Will it be high opposition when I enter Tibet?

the high altitude varies from person to person, and it is unpredictable before going to the plateau. The physically weak may not react greatly, and the physically strong may not be unresponsive.

everyone's reaction degree is different, and the forms of expression are also different, and there is no rule to follow.

2. Will my reaction be serious when I go to Lhasa Plateau?

If you have heart, lung, brain, liver and kidney diseases, severe anemia or hypertension, please do not blindly enter Tibet. Altitude sickness in general: thin people are better than fat people, women are better than men, short people are better than tall people, and young people are better than old people. There are basically the following groups of people who are prone to altitude sickness:

(1) Obese people are generally more likely to have altitude sickness because of their high oxygen consumption.

(2 People with low blood pressure are prone to altitude sickness.

(3 People with hypoglycemia are prone to altitude sickness.

(4 The elderly are prone to altitude sickness.

(5) Sub-healthy people are more likely to have altitude sickness.

3. Is it life-threatening if it is too high?

Altitude sickness is generally not life-threatening, and the symptoms of various reactions will get better after a short rest for two or three days. If you have severe altitude sickness, you need to go to the hospital to check it out. Hospitals in Tibet have high anti-emergency treatment, oxygen inhalation and glucose injection. Go straight to the hospital if you can't carry it, and don't stare blankly.

Altitude sickness is not as terrible as people say. Before going, everyone may be very nervous about it, but in fact, it is not a serious situation after going. If the high rebellion is particularly severe, it needs to be highly valued, and it has not eased after treatment, and it has intensified, then it is necessary to consider returning to the mainland.

prevention

(1) The most important thing is the state of mind. It's not terrible to be rebellious. Once you are rebellious, you will be flustered? This will just make it more difficult for me to adapt, and I believe I can overcome it.

(2) Anti-hyperreflexia drugs such as Gao Yuan 'an and Hongjingtian can be taken a few days in advance, and there is no academic research on whether they are effective or not, but they can be courageous;

(3) Stop exercising one week before entering Tibet, so as to make the body in a relatively relaxed state and reduce the body's demand for oxygen;

(4) Ensure adequate sleep and keep your spirits up.

What to do

1. Don't run around and jump around even if you don't feel anything when you first arrive, and have a rest in the hotel when you arrive in Lhasa. Don't take oxygen at once for slight hyperreflexia, although it can be relieved quickly, but it is very dependent. It is not the way to think about holding oxygen bottles all the time in the next trip, so it is king to let your body adapt slowly;

2. The weather in Lhasa changes greatly, the daytime temperature is relatively low compared with that in the mainland, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. Remember to bring enough warm clothes, and catching a cold at the plateau is not fun.

3. Fenbid, one of the symptoms of most hyperreflexia is headache, and drinking glucose oral liquid also has certain effect. Remember not to overeat as soon as you arrive in Lhasa, which will increase the burden on the digestive system. Bring some food like chocolate to make it more comfortable.

4. It must be noted that if the symptoms of reaction become more and more serious after entering the plateau, especially when resting, you should take oxygen immediately and go to the hospital for treatment. Patients with rare high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude cerebral edema need to take a lot of oxygen, and at the same time, they should be quickly transferred to low altitude areas.

anti-drug

1. Before entering Tibet:

We started taking Rhodiola 15 days in advance. We bought "Nuodikang Capsule" with medical insurance card in pharmacy, and its ingredient is rhodiola.

2. Take it every day after entering the plateau:

(1) Gao Yuanan is really effective. It is recommended to buy it after arriving in Xining and take it in the plateau area. Later, on the train to Lhasa, I really had symptoms of hyperreflexia, and it took effect within half an hour after taking it, which was very useful. Moreover, when we are in Tibet, as long as we are at high altitude, we will take it on time and in quantity. Therefore, during our nine days in Tibet, we didn't have any high fever at all, and even we slept well at night in the Everest base camp. We definitely recommend this magic medicine. But let's face it, what we bought in Lhasa seems to be an imitation. The following picture shows that this medicine is genuine. Don't buy it wrong. This medicine is actually quite expensive, because it contains American ginseng ingredients. The pharmacy buys about 68 yuan, three times a day, and each time, there are 2 pills in a box, and two people have a box a day. The imitation version we bought in Lhasa later has no American ginseng ingredients, so it is cheap, but it is said that the effect is not as good as the genuine one. (Because we almost got used to it in the later period, we didn't eat the imitation version, but our fellow friends circled Ali and ate it. It is said that there is a big difference

(2) Good storage (Centrum Jiawei tablets 1.33g*3 tablets of multivitamin, one bottle for two people is enough. It is true that there are very few fruits and vegetables on the plateau, so we have to strengthen our resistance through vitamin tablets.
