Hello friend: altitude sickness can be prevented, because it has a lot to do with altitude and rising speed, so we should go to the plateau slowly. It is also related to personal adaptability. It is beneficial to do long-distance running, swimming and other physical training and aerobic exercise (mainly endurance events) before going to Gaoyuan. People who have a cold should wait until they are cured before going to the plateau.

Acute altitude sickness should be mainly prevented.

◆ Personnel who need to work in plateau areas should pass careful physical examination to check whether they have diseases that are not suitable for working in plateau areas.

◆ From low altitude areas to high altitude areas, we need to adapt step by step.

◆ When it is necessary to reach the area above 3000m quickly, oxygen equipment and preventive drugs should be brought. 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%.

Try to eat high-sugar foods, adjust the structure to the first carbohydrate, the second fat, and the third protein, and take in more liquid energy if possible. If you drink juice or milk, you can also add some water. 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.

Simple treatment of altitude sickness

◆ General painkillers are very effective for headaches and have little irritation to the stomach. Aspirin is ok, but it is very irritating to the stomach. In short, most painkillers can be used.

◆ If the blood pressure is too high, use Jiediling (a drug for early hypertension) and low-dose diuretic tablets.

◆ Edema: parts that are greatly affected by gravity, such as eyes and lower limbs, are prone to edema. There is a shallow pit on the skin, which belongs to mild edema. Can be treated with aminophylline, aminophylline has diuretic and vasodilator effects, and the effect is good. If the degree of edema is serious, you can use dihydrochloride urine plug, 100mg/ tablet, 1 tablet, 1 ~ 3 times a day, and it will take effect after five or six hours. Diuretic tablets, 25mg/ tablet, 1 tablet is enough, the dosage is small, furosemide tablets have great side effects, so it is not recommended.
