Can mainlanders adapt to the plateau climate? (for example, Dulan, Qinghai)

The highest elevation in dulan county is 5,536 meters, the lowest elevation is 2,677 meters, and the average elevation is about 4,000 meters. When the altitude reaches about 2700 meters, people will have altitude sickness. Due to the reduction of oxygen partial pressure at atmospheric pressure, the body's tolerance to hypoxic environment is reduced, which makes it difficult to adapt to hypoxia, resulting in a series of altitude disorders. Of course, in addition to the factors of plateau hypoxia, there are also bad weather such as wind, rain, snow, cold and strong ultraviolet radiation. Will aggravate altitude sickness.

It should cause discomfort at different altitudes. After a period of adaptation, a series of adaptive changes can occur.

Symptom judgment

Symptoms such as headache, dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, general fatigue, difficulty walking, difficulty falling asleep, etc. occur within 24 hours. Severe cases have symptoms such as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, purple lips or facial edema. When these symptoms appear, you should stay at the original height and rest for 3~5 days, or immediately lower the height by hundreds of meters, which can generally return to normal. It is reported that the incidence below 3500m accounts for 37% ~ 5 1%, and the incidence between 3600m and 5000m reaches 50%. This shows that the higher the altitude, the higher the incidence of altitude sickness. Severe altitude sickness is very harmful to human body. So after entering the plateau, if the following symptoms appear, altitude sickness should be considered: 1. Severe headache, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, cyanosis of lips and nails. 2. Consciousness trance, cognitive ability plummeted. Mainly in the calculation difficulty. Do a simple addition problem before entering the platform period and record the time spent. When symptoms appear, repeat the same calculation problem. If it takes longer than before, it means that altitude sickness has occurred. 3. hallucinating, feeling warm, often following others aimlessly, to prevent people who need to work in plateau areas, and to check whether they have diseases that are not suitable for working in plateau areas through careful physical examination. From low altitude areas to high altitude areas, we should adapt step by step. When you must reach the area above 3000 meters quickly, you should bring oxygen equipment and preventive drugs. Such as diuretics, sedatives, adrenocortical hormones and vitamins. You can also take compound Dangshen tablets two days before entering the plateau, 8 tablets a day, which can reduce altitude sickness by 80%. Eat high-sugar foods as much as possible, adjust the structure to the first carbohydrate, the second fat, and the third protein. If possible, take in more liquid energy and add some water if you use juice milk. Milk tea is a good food, butter tea is even better. It is a high-calorie food and rich in fat, which can protect and moisturize the skin. Theophylline in it can also play a diuretic role. After arriving at the plateau, physical activities should be carried out step by step to minimize and avoid cold stimulation and upper respiratory tract infection. Reference: /view/88 1.htm
