Matters needing attention after arriving at the plateau
When you first arrive at the plateau, everyone will have different degrees of chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other symptoms of hypoxia, but the symptoms are not obvious. But that doesn't mean you can't adapt to the plateau. If you can protect yourself correctly, the balance system in your body will naturally make you adapt to this new environment within 3 to 7 days.
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.
Just entering the plateau, don't overeat, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs and make them adapt to this environment well. It's best not to drink or smoke.
Eat more vitamin-rich substances such as vegetables and fruits, and drink more water, the more the better, as long as you can bear it.
When you first arrive at the plateau, you shouldn't walk very 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.
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.
The travel itinerary after entering Lhasa is very particular, so don't be blind. To go to places with low altitude and then to places with high altitude, most people arrange to go to Linzhi (about 2900 meters above sea level) first, and then go to other places, such as Shigatse and Namco. Only after the trip did you know that this arrangement had benefited you a lot.
Once altitude sickness occurs, there is no need to panic, and targeted treatment should be given according to the degree of reaction. If the reaction is low, you can take a rest, drink more water and exercise less, which will generally disappear or weaken after a period of time; If the reaction is serious and affects sleep, you can take some drugs for adjuvant treatment; If the reaction is too intense, you can go to the hospital for treatment, infusion, medicine and oxygen inhalation. Lhasa has a good hospital and doctors who specialize in treating altitude sickness, and a good hotel also has a good infirmary in this regard, which can provide this service; If you really can't stand the torture of altitude sickness, you have to take the earliest flight back to the mainland, and the general situation will be alleviated immediately.
Try to choose a better hotel to stay in, 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.
Commonly used drugs to prevent altitude sickness: Rhodiola, Jigan tablets, glucose, etc. , can effectively prevent altitude sickness, take it two days before entering the mountain and insist on taking it on the way.
To prevent dryness, especially sunscreen lipstick and sunscreen. Sticking to it every day can effectively prevent water loss and increase the body's resistance.
suggestion
(1) So for those who are new to Tibet and don't know their physical condition, it is recommended to fly directly to Lhasa, which is actually a height that ordinary people can bear-3,500 meters above sea level.
(2) After arriving in Lhasa, first find a place to live, settle down, rest quietly, and don't travel immediately. The best I can do is to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some materials and make some schedule preparations. Remember not to do strenuous exercise, let alone drink too much, because the real physical reaction begins on the first night after you enter the plateau. Tonight, you should go to bed early, many people will lose sleep and dream more.
(3) If you get up the next morning and the response is not bad, you can officially start the journey. If you are still worried, take another day off, or go to Jokhang Temple first. There are many ways to go in Potala Palace ... >>
Question 2: How to prevent altitude sickness 1. Stop smoking and drinking, prevent colds and avoid overwork. You can take some health care products such as American ginseng and rhodiola a few days in advance. Don't listen to rumors that you need to take physical exercise before entering Tibet. Don't believe that taking the Qinghai-Tibet line and slowly entering Tibet will reduce altitude sickness. It is important to take a rest and not be too tired before departure. When you first arrive in Tibet, you must do three things lightly. Speak lightly, walk lightly, and do lightly. At the same time, drink as much water as possible, eat more fruits and vegetables, and have a good sleep. 4. Mild altitude sickness usually heals itself. It is recommended not to take oxygen easily, otherwise it will easily lead to dependence on oxygen. For some friends who want to explore higher altitudes, when they first arrive at the plateau. Don't suddenly enter the area above 5000 meters above sea level without adaptation and preparation. Don't walk, run or engage in manual labor quickly. After a week, you can gradually increase a certain amount of activity. Drugs for relieving altitude sickness: 1. Rhodiola: Take it at least one week in advance. 2. Aspirin: Relieve the headache caused by altitude sickness. 3. American ginseng buccal tablets: cold medicine, berberine, motion sickness medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, quick-acting jiuxin pills, band-aid, vitamin tablets (Sun Shan tablets, Jin 'erkang, etc.). ) is used to relieve fatigue. Not suitable: obvious pathological changes in heart, lung, brain, liver and kidney, and severe anemia. Patients with hypertension should not blindly enter the plateau. If you really need to enter the plateau, please do the necessary examination and nursing under the guidance of a doctor. Don't do strenuous exercise after getting off the plane, but slow down. Don't jump up and down in a moment of excitement, or you will suffer in the future. After arriving at the hotel or guesthouse, don't arrange any outdoor activities that day, drink more water and eat more fruits, and get enough rest to speed up the adaptation period of physiological adjustment.
Question 3: How to prevent altitude sickness? First of all, we should treat this altitude sickness correctly.
When people go to places with high altitude and lack of oxygen, in fact, everyone will have high reflexes, but the severity is different, which has nothing to do with personal physical strength (I have seen national first-class athletes who climbed 7,000 meters, and the reflexes were so high at an altitude of 3,500 meters that they finally spent more than 65,438+100,000). There are many factors that affect high reaction, such as mentality, environment, physical condition at that time and amount of exercise. Of course, there are also some ways to adapt to the plateau environment.
First from low altitude to high altitude, stay at low altitude for a few days, and then go to a higher place when you can get used to it.
The second is to help you adapt by taking high anti-products. Generally speaking, take Rhodiola before departure and Yanglan tablets after arriving at the plateau to help the body adapt.
Of course, in addition to products with high degree of allergy, we should also prepare some daily medicines, such as cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, headache medicine and so on. Treat it with a normal heart and have a nice trip. You can ask if you don't understand.
Question 4: How to deal with altitude sickness Symptoms such as altitude sickness generally include headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anorexia, slight fever, dizziness, fatigue and fatigue. Some people appear because of low oxygen content: purple lips and fingertips, lethargy, hyperactivity, insomnia and other different manifestations. Some people appear because of dry air: rough skin, chapped lips, bleeding nostrils or blood clots. How to avoid or reduce altitude sickness? Most people have mild or severe altitude sickness when they first arrive at the plateau. What kind of people generally have no rules to follow. The best way to avoid or reduce altitude sickness is to face it with a good attitude. Many reaction symptoms are caused by psychological effects or psychological effects. For example, people who are afraid of the plateau and lack the mental preparation and determination to overcome it will have more chances to have altitude sickness. It is suggested that when you first arrive at the plateau, don't walk fast, let alone run or run, and don't do manual labor to avoid overeating and increase the burden on digestive organs. Don't drink and smoke, eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, keep warm and take fewer baths to avoid catching a cold and wasting energy. Don't take oxygen at first, try to adapt yourself, otherwise you may never be able to live without oxygen at the plateau. You can take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness: Rhodiola sachalinensis (taken at least 10 days in advance), Gao Yuan 'an, American ginseng buccal tablets, Nuodikang capsules (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), Baifuning (very useful for controlling headache caused by altitude sickness), American ginseng (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), Quick-acting Jiuxin Pills (not allowed to take more) and Danshen Dropping Pills (for treating cardiovascular diseases). The symptoms of altitude sickness can be eliminated within 1-2 days for people with strong adaptability to altitude, and it takes 3-7 days for people with weak adaptability.
Question 5: How to deal with altitude sickness 1? What is altitude sickness? What are the symptoms of altitude sickness?
Altitude sickness is a natural physiological reaction when people reach a certain altitude for 3-4 hours to adapt to the changes of air pressure difference, low oxygen content and dry air caused by altitude. When the altitude reaches about 2700 meters, altitude sickness will occur. Symptoms of altitude sickness generally include headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anorexia, low fever, dizziness and fatigue. Some people appear because of low oxygen content: purple lips and fingertips, lethargy, hyperactivity, insomnia and other different manifestations. Some people appear because of dry air: rough skin, chapped lips, bleeding nostrils or blood clots.
2. How to avoid or reduce altitude sickness?
Most people go to the western Sichuan Plateau and Tibet without altitude sickness. What kind of people generally have altitude sickness has no rules to follow. The best way to avoid or reduce altitude sickness is to face it with a good attitude. Many reaction symptoms are caused by psychological effects or psychological effects. For example, people who are afraid of altitude sickness and lack the mental preparation and determination to overcome altitude sickness are more likely to suffer from altitude sickness.
It is suggested that when you first arrive at the plateau, don't walk fast, let alone run or run, and don't do manual labor to avoid overeating and increase the burden on digestive organs. Don't drink and smoke, eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, keep warm and take fewer baths to avoid catching a cold and wasting energy. Don't take oxygen at first, try to adapt yourself, otherwise you may never be able to live without oxygen at the plateau.
Have a happy outlook. Know the knowledge of plateau geography, meteorology, altitude sickness, etc. in advance, eliminate the fear, avoid excessive mental stress, and make the body have a full rest. If possible, use step size adaptation. Foreign experts believe that the best way to prevent acute altitude sickness is to adapt step by step, and it is more appropriate to rise by 300 meters every day at an altitude of 2500 meters, while it is only 150 meters every day at an altitude of 4000 meters to 5000 meters. However, this method takes a long time and the logistics support is difficult.
You can take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness: Rhodiola sachalinensis (taken at least 10 days in advance), American ginseng buccal tablets, Nuodikang capsules (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), Baifuning (very useful for controlling headache caused by altitude sickness), American ginseng (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue) and quick-acting jiuxin pills, but the effect is not particularly obvious. Generally speaking, they are all self-comforting psychotherapy, and the effect is the same as maintaining a good attitude. The symptoms of altitude sickness can be eliminated within 1-2 days for people with strong adaptability to altitude, and it takes 3-4 days for people with weak adaptability.
Question 6: How can we reduce altitude sickness? 1. People who enter the plateau area should have a comprehensive physical examination. Generally speaking, healthy people are more likely to adapt to the hypoxic environment. Pregnant women and people with obvious diseases such as heart, lung, liver and kidney, patients with stage II hypertension, epilepsy, severe neurasthenia, active digestive tract ulcer and severe anemia are not allowed to enter the plateau area.
2. At ordinary times, we should strengthen physical exercise, step up and gradually adapt. It has been reported in China that the incidence of acute altitude sickness is 83.5% when people arrive at an altitude of 4,200 m from the plain within 3 days, but only 52.7% when they arrive at an altitude of 4,200 m from 226 1m within 7-65 and 438+05 days (P Question 7: How to deal with altitude sickness actually exists for everyone, as long as
1, eat rhodiola a week before going.
The best way to get to the plateau is to choose the train, so there is a process of gradual adaptation. If you drive by yourself, your oxygen consumption will increase, and if you fly to the plateau, you will suddenly feel uncomfortable.
3. If you are traveling, it is suggested to get used to going to Qinghai or Ganzi, where the altitude has risen, but it is not too high. It is also a good tourist route to play for a few days before entering Tibet.
Remember not to drink too much before entering the plateau, which will increase the oxygen consumption.
Some people don't react immediately after they arrive at the plateau, and usually appear after 8- 12 hours, so don't be careless and run around thinking that you have nothing to do. So rest first, speak softly and ensure sleep. People's oxygen consumption during sleep is relatively low, so try to adapt themselves to the plateau during sleep.
6. Don't let yourself catch a cold after arriving at the plateau, it will be very dangerous!
Question 8: How to prevent altitude sickness? It is recommended to have a comprehensive physical examination before going. Patients with organic heart disease, respiratory diseases and severe hypertension cannot go to Tibet. Take it with you before you go to prevent altitude sickness. I recommend Jing Tian Honghua Capsule, which is taken 3-5 days before going, and the effect is good. Also bring some necessary medicines, such as cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine. Altitude sickness includes acute altitude sickness, altitude cerebral edema and altitude pulmonary edema. Short-term entry into the plateau can cause headaches, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath and other reactions. In severe cases, there are symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, fatigue, abdominal distension and chest tightness. Prevention of acute altitude sickness should be given priority. Matters needing attention on the way into the plateau (1). Oxygen and drugs for preventing and treating acute altitude sickness, such as Jingtian Honghua Capsule and aminophylline, should be prepared as much as possible, as well as drugs, antibiotics and vitamins for preventing and treating colds, just in case. (2) Due to the cold climate in the plateau and the large temperature difference between day and night, we should pay attention to preparing enough warm clothes to prevent colds. (3) If you have severe symptoms of altitude sickness on the way to the plateau, you should treat it immediately and take Honghua Jingtian Capsule or aminophylline in time. In severe cases, oxygen should be inhaled. In case of severe chest tightness, severe cough, dyspnea, pink foam phlegm cough, or slow response, indifference or even coma, in addition to the above treatment, you should go to a nearby hospital for rescue as soon as possible, or transfer to a lower altitude area for treatment and recovery as soon as possible. (4) Because it takes a long time to enter the plateau by car, the accommodation conditions on the way are poor, and the physical strength is high, in addition to the above items, water or drinks and delicious and digestible food should be prepared to replenish the necessary water and heat in time. Best time to travel: Tibet tourism must consider seasonal factors. The climate in the alpine region is long in winter and short in summer, and the four seasons are distinct only in some parts of southeastern Tibet. For areas with convenient transportation, such as Lhasa, Shigatse and Shannan, you can basically travel all year round. July to September is the best tourist season, with suitable temperature and many festivals. 1. Ali area is the best in spring and autumn, the southern line is not easy to walk in summer, and it is basically difficult after snowing in winter; 2. The roads in Linzhi area are not easy to walk in summer, and it is very cold in spring. The scenery in autumn is the most beautiful, and the climate at that time is also the best; 3. There are planes to Changdu City in Changdu area, but the road conditions in rainy season are extremely poor; Except the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in northern Tibet, there is basically no way to go in the lake area in summer. It is windy and dusty in spring, and it is best to walk in autumn, but the time is short. As long as there is no snowstorm, it is quite convenient to walk in winter. Generally speaking, spring and autumn are the best seasons for outdoor tourism in Tibet. In addition, July and August every year is the tourist season in Tibet, and it is indeed the best and warmest time in Tibet. At this time, a large number of domestic and foreign tourists flocked to Tibet. Air tickets, housing and transportation will all become tense and expensive. Gourmet snacks: The convenience of Tibetan catering is much higher than that of ordinary people. The restaurants in each town are mainly Sichuan cuisine. There are many kinds of vegetables in Lhasa, such as Shigatse and Zedang in Shannan, shiquanhe town, Pulan and Linzhi in Ali. In other places, due to traffic reasons, the supply of vegetables is relatively small, and the price is much higher than that in the mainland. Of course, sanitary conditions are also a problem for many tourists. Fortunately, ultraviolet rays in the plateau are relatively strong, and there are fewer infectious diseases. Except Lhasa, it is usually impossible to find a restaurant to eat in time when traveling in other places in Tibet. I suggest you bring some snacks, such as chocolate, dried meat, snacks and so on. Although there are many lakes in Tibet, drinking water is a problem. There are many salt lakes in Tibet. Other lakes taste not salty, but they are rich in minerals. According to local people, they will be dumb or have many other problems. Of course, there is no problem with the flowing melting water of snow-capped mountains. At the same time, I suggest you boil raw water for a long time before drinking it, because the boiling point of water on the plateau is much lower than that on the plain, and Lhasa water will boil at about 80 degrees. The Tibetan diet is different in pastoral areas and agricultural areas. In addition to rice cakes, flour and other staple foods, the diet in pastoral areas can be simply divided into two categories: "red food" and "free food". "Red" refers to meat and "white" refers to milk. Free food is the main food in summer, and red food is the main food in winter. Famous snacks in pastoral areas include hand-grabbed mutton, roasted sheep intestines and air-dried meat. Tibetan food tastes light and peaceful. Many dishes, except salt and onion and garlic, are not allowed to indulge ... >>
