Altitude sickness:
1. The plateau area is prone to hypoxia, because the air pressure decreases with the elevation, resulting in thin air, and the oxygen pressure and content also decrease. Therefore, it is best not to go directly to areas with high altitude, and try to control the daily rising height at about 400 to 600 meters. Every time you reach a new height, you have to rest for a few days, so that your physical strength can gradually recover and adapt to the altitude hypoxia environment, which can reduce the degree of altitude sickness.
2. High altitude areas consume a lot of physical strength and try to avoid strenuous exercise and overwork. Drink more water and eat more fruits. It is best to take some high-calorie snacks with you, such as chocolate, compressed biscuits, small sweets, etc., and replenish the necessary water and calories in time.
3. Under normal circumstances, the symptoms of altitude sickness will disappear or ease automatically after two days. You can also try taking some diuretics, such as acetazolamide, to prevent altitude sickness, eliminate paroxysmal nocturnal apnea, improve the quality of sleep at night, and relieve headaches when you get up in the morning.
However, if you find that altitude sickness is serious, you must seek medical attention immediately.
