What should I pay attention to when traveling to Tibet? In terms of altitude sickness.

Matters needing attention after arriving at the high court

1, just arrived at the plateau, everyone will feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea and other symptoms of hypoxia to varying degrees, and severe symptoms such as headache, muscle aches and insomnia will occur. But that doesn't mean you can't adapt to the plateau. This reaction is normal. If you can protect yourself correctly, the above symptoms can generally be improved or disappeared after 1-3 days. But after the reaction is relieved, you can't do whatever you want. You have to control your behavior to play a good role.

People often advocate oxygen inhalation to relieve discomfort. Of course, oxygen inhalation can temporarily relieve chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea and other symptoms, but after stopping oxygen inhalation, the symptoms will reappear. This has delayed the time to adapt to the plateau. We believe that if the above symptoms are not serious, especially when resting, it is best not to take oxygen, so that you can adapt to the plateau environment quickly.

3, just entering the plateau, do not overeat, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs, so that they can adapt to this environment well. It's best not to drink or smoke.

4, eat more vegetables, fruits and other vitamin-rich substances, drink more water, the more the better, as long as you can bear.

When you first arrive at the plateau, you can't walk fast, let alone run, let alone do manual labor. It is best to have a thorough rest for half a day, rest early on the first night and sleep more. This starts with getting off the plane. Many people get off the plane without altitude sickness, so they are self-righteous. As a result, the symptoms did not appear until the evening, and it was too late to regret.

6. When you first arrive at the plateau, you should prevent colds caused by catching cold. Cold is one of the main causes of acute high altitude pulmonary edema. The temperature difference in the plateau is particularly large, and it is easy to catch a cold. Remember that it is better to be hot than cold at this time, and put on more clothes.

7. Try to choose a hotel with better conditions, so that you can have a good living environment, get a comfortable rest, relax yourself psychologically and physically, and help overcome altitude sickness. In addition, try to open the window when sleeping, let the air circulate, and sleep as close to the window as possible.

8. Choose better tourist vehicles, such as high-grade off-road vehicles (at present, it is best to use Japanese Toyota desert prince off-road vehicles) or loose imported vans, which will make the journey more comfortable.

9. Try to arrange the itinerary as easily as possible and relax the itinerary appropriately. First, the altitude should be low, then the altitude should be high.

10, commonly used drugs to prevent altitude sickness: Rhodiola, Ogilvy Blue tablets, glucose, etc. Taking it two days before entering the mountain and sticking to it on the way can effectively prevent altitude sickness.
