Second, how to overcome the high reflexes
1) just to the plateau, will feel varying degrees of shortness of breath, chest tightness, dyspnea and other symptoms of hypoxia. But this does not mean that you are not adapted to the plateau, 2 to 4 days after the general can be improved or disappear;
2) General symptoms of high reflex will be produced in about 12 to 14 hours. Therefore, just to the plateau must not be strenuous transportation. Otherwise, once you feel the reaction it will take more time to adapt;
3) Oxygen inhalation can temporarily relieve the symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea, etc., but after stopping oxygen inhalation the symptoms will reappear again, which slows down the time of adapting to the plateau. If your symptoms are not very serious, it is recommended that you do not inhale oxygen, which will enable you to adapt to the plateau environment more quickly. Slight plateau reaction, will not cure itself, do not readily inhale oxygen, so as to avoid the formation of dependence;
4) into the Tibetan area to eat more carbohydrates, easy to digest food; drink more water, so that the body to maintain adequate water; the best not to drink alcohol and smoking. To eat more fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in vitamins;
5) pay attention to avoid excessive fatigue. The first few days after arriving at the plateau for the first time, do not take frequent baths, so as not to get cold and cause a cold. Colds are often the main cause of acute plateau pulmonary edema (which is not easy to heal under hypoxia);
6) During the period of plateau, the body load should not be too heavy. When you first arrive at the plateau, you can't walk rapidly, not to mention running, and you can't do physical labor. A week later, can gradually increase a certain amount of activity;
7) year-round adherence to physical exercise in good health, high reflexes may be very little, and can be quickly self-healing, but not to be careless and bravery, especially into the new altitude before the day or two of gradual acclimatization exercise, in the case of no acclimatization and preparedness, do not suddenly enter the region of more than 5000 meters above sea level. In short, it is vital to maintain a healthy and optimistic mindset, as long as you can follow the above points, you will be in Tibet soon after the drive away from the plague of plateau reaction, enjoy the ride and return.
