Can hypertensive patients travel to the plateau?

It is risky for hypertensive patients to travel to plateau scenic spots. The altitude of plateau scenic spots is mostly above 1 meters, and the oxygen content in the air is low, which can easily cause dyspnea, rapid heartbeat and sharp increase of blood pressure in elderly patients with chronic diseases, and then lead to sudden symptoms such as stroke and coma. In addition, the traffic in many scenic spots in Tibet and Qinghai is inconvenient, and tourists sometimes need to sit in the car all day and keep bumping, and their eating and sleeping habits are all disrupted, which is also easy to cause adverse reactions of elderly patients. It can be seen that elderly patients with hypertension do have risks in traveling to plateau scenic spots and should be cautious. As long as the symptoms such as hypertension are not controlled within the normal range, it is not appropriate to take risks in plateau scenic spots at will, otherwise it will not only bring accidents to yourself, but also increase the burden on relatives, friends and companions.
