Is altitude sickness great in Changdu city?

Altitude sickness varies from person to person, and it is difficult to predict before going to the plateau.

Changdu is located in the east of Tibet, with an average elevation of 3500 meters. The Hengduan Mountains are rugged, and the Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River are turbulent. It is the throat area connecting Sichuan, Qinghai and Yunnan.

Because people quickly enter the plateau area above 3000 meters above sea level and are exposed to low pressure and hypoxia, altitude sickness is also called acute altitude sickness or acute altitude sickness. More than 80% of people who rush into the plateau from the plain will have altitude sickness to varying degrees.

Medical research shows that altitude sickness is a clinical syndrome caused by physical injury caused by altitude hypoxia. If not treated properly, it will develop into fatal high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude cerebral edema.

Hyperreflexia affects many organs and tissues of human body, and its mechanism is very complicated. Therefore, it is a difficult field of medical research at present, and there is no particularly effective drug to prevent and treat altitude sickness on the market at present.

Matters needing attention when going to the plateau:

1, just a few days before you arrive at the plateau, don't take a bath frequently to avoid catching a cold. Cold is often the main cause of acute high altitude pulmonary edema (which is not easy to recover under hypoxia).

2. If you feel headache, ache all over, or even have difficulty sleeping, you can take 12 hours of "painkiller".

3. The plateau weather is dry. It will cause some tourists to have nosebleeds and chapped lips. Be sure to prepare lipstick, sunscreen lotion and skin care products. Strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays on the plateau will do harm to your eyes. Prepare sun hats and sunglasses.

In plateau, you must eat more fruits and vegetables to keep your skin. There is also a folk prescription: you must wash your face before going to bed at night, and it is best not to wash your face in the morning. /kloc-For long-term outdoor activities over 0/0 days, it is best not to wash your face without good sanitary conditions. It usually protects your skin. Of course, it would be better to apply some ghee. It's a little dirty, but I'm afraid it will peel off if it's washed too clean.
