Tips for tourism health in Tibet

1. Who are not suitable for traveling in Tibet?

Patients with obvious heart, lung, liver and kidney diseases, severe anemia or high altitude should not enter the plateau. If it is just a general disease, you must take necessary preventive measures in advance, such as carrying oxygen with you.

2. What preparations should I make a few days before I enter Tibet?

A few days before you enter Tibet, you should recharge your batteries and have a good rest. For a week in a row, you should take brown sugar or glucose granules with boiling water to completely inhibit the occurrence of altitude sickness.

3. How to adjust your body on the first day in Tibet:

After arriving at the plateau, you should slow down, pay more attention to rest and reduce the burden on your heart. The plane usually arrives at Gongga airport in the afternoon, and it's almost evening after nearly two hours' long-distance bus ride to Lhasa. If it's the first time to Tibet, I'm probably a little uncomfortable with the local atmosphere. I suggest taking a nap in the hotel to adjust myself.

4. Is it right to relieve altitude discomfort with oxygen inhalation?

Of course, oxygen inhalation can temporarily relieve chest tightness, dyspnea and other symptoms, especially those with severe symptoms of hypoxia, who should rest immediately, take oxygen inhalation and take medicine in time. However, after stopping oxygen inhalation, the symptoms will reappear and the time to adapt to the plateau will be further delayed. So if the symptoms are not serious, it is best not to take oxygen, which can make you adapt to the plateau climate faster.

5. What is the panacea against altitude sickness?

Good psychological quality is a panacea for overcoming altitude sickness. A large number of practices have proved that maintaining an open-minded and optimistic mood and establishing good self-confidence can shorten and weaken the physical discomfort caused by altitude sickness. On the other hand, if you worry too much, you will be highly nervous if you feel a little uncomfortable. On the other hand, it will increase the oxygen consumption of brain tissue, thus aggravating the discomfort of the body and prolonging the self-healing time.

6, in the plateau, how much harm does a cold do to the human body:

The plateau climate is dry and the temperature difference is large at night. Drink plenty of water, keep warm and don't catch a cold. You'd better not take off your clothes at will after adding clothes. If you wear a hat, always wear it! Because here, a cold can be called "the root of all evil". It may cause brain water and lung water, and it is these two diseases that have taken the lives of many tourists from the plain to Tibet. Therefore, once you find signs of a cold, you must take medicine immediately to control your illness and go to the hospital.

7. Are fruits and vegetables rare products in Tibet?

In a few big cities, these are not problems, but they are really rare in small places. So you'd better take some vitamin supplements.

8. What should I pay attention to in my diet?

When you first enter the plateau, you should choose high-calorie and digestible food, don't overeat, and pay special attention at dinner, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach, oppress the heart and lungs, and cause chest tightness and palpitation. It's best not to drink or smoke. High-calorie foods such as chocolate can effectively replenish physical strength.

9. How to resist the invasion of ultraviolet rays and dry climate on the skin;

The plateau climate is changeable, especially the plateau sunshine is strong, so you should pay attention to wearing glasses and sun hats outdoors to prevent ultraviolet damage. In addition, disaster relief needs to bring some skin care products and sunscreen products.

10, which drugs must be prepared:

Internal medicine; Anti-hypoxia drugs; Rhodiola and glucose, if taken three days before departure, will greatly reduce altitude sickness; Cold medicine; Cold; Tylenol, white plus black, etc. ; Norfloxacin (or compound sulfamethoxazole); Used for biliary tract, intestinal tract and respiratory tract infections; Multi-enzyme tablets (or lactic acid bacteria tablets); Used for dyspepsia and loss of appetite; Berberine; Because of the relationship between hypoxia and low gas pressure, many times the boiling water is not rolled through, and you may have diarrhea when you first arrive, so you need to prepare such antidiarrheal drugs: painkillers; Such as Jiahe Baifuning, Bilitong, painkillers, headache powder and so on. Prevention of headache caused by mountain reaction: heat-clearing drugs: such as throat moistening tablets, chrysanthemum tea, summer mulberry chrysanthemum and American ginseng granules; Vitamin c; Can enhance the body's resistance. External use; Trauma medicine; Gauze, bandage, band-aid, iodine, tourniquet, etc. You must also prepare: lip balm: it can prevent chapped lips; Yunnan Baiyao: hemostasis: essential balm: refreshing and relieving pain; Safflower oil: Indications for traumatic injury and rheumatic bone pain.

1 1. What if I feel unwell?

The higher the altitude is, the thinner the air is, and the oxygen content in the air is relatively reduced. When we walk from low altitude to high altitude, everyone will feel different degrees of chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other hypoxia symptoms. But that doesn't mean you can't adapt to the plateau. If you can protect yourself correctly, the above symptoms can generally be improved or disappeared after 1-2 days. If the symptoms are serious, you can take painkillers and clonidine tablets orally, and Tibetan medicine "Hong Jingtian" root boiled water can alleviate altitude sickness.
