What medicine do you take for altitude sickness? Can you have altitude sickness when you go to Tibet?

Many friends like going to Tibet very much, but they will face the problem of altitude sickness. Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about the topic of altitude sickness, so everyone can have a look. Take a look at some related tips. Can altitude sickness be prevented < P > No, but it can provide maximum protection for the body in advance. The method is eight words: drinking brown sugar water+slowing down exercise.

1. Drinking brown sugar water half a month in advance is the best way to prevent altitude sickness when the Ministry of Railways builds the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. It is effective for most people, and brown sugar is easy to buy and cheap. Drinking rhodiola or something is already out.

2. Don't do large-scale oxygen-consuming exercise before entering Tibet. People who have exercise habits should try to reduce the intensity and frequency.

Hyperreflexia, or altitude maladjustment, usually occurs in plateau areas with an altitude of over 2,7 meters.

The main inducements include: low oxygen content, poor air pressure, dry air, etc.

Secondary inducements include: abrupt weather environment, cold, strong ultraviolet rays, etc.

Therefore, there is no typical susceptible population, whether young or old, male or female, whether drinking Rhodiola 1 days or one year in advance, as long as it conflicts with the appeal inducement and is not properly adjusted, altitude sickness is bound to occur. On the contrary, you can sit back and relax.

-Of course, I will tell you, saying: "Deceive men but not women, bully the strong and not bully the weak", which means that the younger and stronger men are, the greater the chance of rebellion; Women are relatively less likely. It makes sense, but it is not absolute. This sentence illustrates one point: people who need (consume) a lot of oxygen will suffer more on the plateau. So please remember that unless you want to ride (hike) to the plateau and have to train and adjust your physical strength and endurance, it is asking for trouble to suddenly exercise intensively to strengthen your physical fitness before entering Tibet.

-There are more people entering Tibet than before, and we have basically formed an intuitive reference ratio, which is about 3%, that is, 7% are slightly or even unresponsive, and 3% are slightly serious. I'm afraid it was these 3 and 7 who published completely different opinions and suggestions on the Internet, which caused some people to be too scared to come to Tibet and some people to relax their vigilance. The more you look up the information, the more you lose heart. The more you look at Zhihu's answer, the more confused you are. You simply don't know what to do.

-Slight hyperreflexia includes: headache, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, violent heartbeat and loss of appetite. These reactions appear immediately after entering the plateau, and a few people will delay it for 1-2 days. Most people will have a remission of the above symptoms after a night's rest without taking medicine. If you have a bad headache, you can take it according to the drug instructions: "Sanlitong" or "Baifuning", and the effect is very good. Based on the experience of _ Chong and Ximei, it seems that more than 7% of them are slightly opposed or even have no feeling, so friends should be vigilant and do a good job without worrying too much.

-Severe hyperreflexia includes: low fever, high fever, vomiting, unconsciousness and hallucinations. In this case, be sure to stay in bed. If the situation becomes worse, seek medical attention immediately. Here, I would like to remind those who enter Tibet by car to take a proper rest or change their driving when they find that their reaction speed is slow and they have a headache. The place to stay every day must be arranged, and try to stop at a major town with a hospital (appropriate medical conditions) at low altitude. How to deal with the

1.

Choosing a train to enter Tibet as far as possible can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but also make your body adapt to the altitude of the plateau gradually and slowly. The diffuse oxygen supplement inside the train will help you feel comfortable, and if you are uncomfortable, you can directly take oxygen or seek medical help in the train. It is a very reliable choice to enter Tibet.

2.

Relax mentally, and don't arrange too tight or too tired play items before entering Tibet, so that your body can cope with high rebellion at its best. The body's regulatory ability is very strong. After entering the plateau, it will gradually enhance the heart rate and blood pumping ability, and begin to increase the content of red blood cells and hemoglobin to improve the body's hypoxia. All we have to do is rest, drink hot water in moderation and supplement vitamins, especially brown sugar water.

3.

It's best to get used to it in Lhasa for 2-3 days when you arrive in Tibet, and it's not appropriate to arrange the tour too tightly in these 2-3 days. The first choice route for traveling from Lhasa is Linzhi area with low average altitude. If you get used to it in these areas, you can be competent for traveling in higher altitude areas such as Mount Everest and Ali.

(It is best to buy or book a sleeper. The train running in Tibet takes a long time, and the hard seat is physically exhausting and tired, which will easily lead to altitude sickness.) Drugs and foods for relieving high fever

1. Sanlitong and Baifuning, as mentioned above. Really easy to use!

2. Quick-acting cold capsule is said to have miraculous effect, but it is only used for the symptoms of either high reaction or cold, so everyone should use it according to their own physical conditions.

3. Coffee is recommended to be drunk with caution.

4. American ginseng buccal tablets and glucose (glucose can be drunk in powder-with water or directly in medicinal bottles), which can quickly relieve deep fatigue at high altitude. Recommended!

5. Brown sugar, a magic weapon during the construction of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, can increase the blood oxygen content, and drink it twice a day 15 days before entering Tibet to help you adapt to high rebellion. Recommended!

6. Buttered tea and sweet tea, strong-strong-push-recommend! Buttered tea is salty milk tea mixed with butter and milk. Some people can't get used to it. It doesn't matter that we still have sweet tea!

There are sweet teahouses everywhere in Barkhor Street, Lhasa. Find one to sit in, drink enough, warm your stomach and fight against rebellion.

-About "high altitude pulmonary edema". Firstly, a definition is introduced: high altitude pulmonary edema is a common severe altitude sickness with an incidence rate of about 3%. Generally, it occurs above 4 meters, and it often occurs rapidly in 3-48 hours after climbing, and later in 3-1 days. The important inducement is respiratory infection caused by cold, fatigue and decreased resistance < P >. "By this definition, everyone will put their hearts in their stomachs. Unless you are a climber and you have the" luck "of winning the lottery, your chances of getting severe altitude pulmonary edema or brain edema are not high. Attention

1. Try to avoid catching a cold before entering Tibet;

2. Don't take a shower and wash your hair immediately after you arrive in Tibet. Pay attention to adding clothes to keep warm. Don't drink cold water and don't drink alcohol for the time being. Avoid getting cold and causing fever.

The temperature change of people on the plateau is deceptive, which will be about one degree lower than that in the mainland. The normal temperature shown on the thermometer does not mean that you have no fever, so when you feel uncomfortable, for example, drowsiness, trance, cough and panic, you must rest in place. It is best to adapt to Lhasa for two more days and not leave Lhasa, which has the best medical conditions for the time being.

-About staying in high altitude areas (areas with an average altitude of more than 4,m), please take oxygen with you and put your head up when you sleep at night, otherwise you will have persistent breathing difficulties at night. Many people have cyanosis on their lips and nails, which is a normal phenomenon. Don't be afraid, but you can't completely relax your vigilance.

-about "drunk oxygen". After leaving Tibet and retreating to the plain, almost all people will have an interesting "drunken oxygen" reaction. This is a magical adjustment made by the body to adapt to the plateau, and now it has to be transferred back to its original state. It will take time. During this time, we will take too much oxygen, just like drinking too much wine, and there will be all kinds of fun reactions such as dizziness, unsteady gait, lethargy and food addiction. Don't be afraid, we will soon return to normal.

There's a lot said above, so let's sum it up:

- You don't need to take any medicine before entering Tibet (if you must take it, please follow the doctor's advice and choose medicinal rhodiola)

- You don't need to do any high-intensity exercise before entering Tibet

- Be careful not to catch a cold before entering Tibet

- Take quick-acting Jiuxin Pills, American ginseng buccal tablets and triamcinolone (Baifuning) with you. After arriving in Lhasa, Plateau Anke went to a large pharmacy to buy (this is a health care product, not a medicine)

- relaxed, most people have a slight high reaction, which can be completely overcome

- try not to make the itinerary too tight. Stay in Lhasa for at least 2 days

- Leave Lhasa to play in Linzhi, the first choice for other places-(the atmospheric oxygen content is 73%) The average altitude is low and the air in Bilasa is humid

- Hyperreflexia and hyperreflexia recur. The author should not go to Mount Everest and Ali

- If you need oxygen after you arrive in Lhasa, you can go to a pharmacy to buy it (try not to take oxygen, the more you get used to it)

- It is better to lie on your back when you sleep. You can take care of each other to prevent the risk of high fever

- drink more sweet tea and butter tea, and get more sunshine

- supplement vegetables and fruits, and don't drink too much water to increase the burden on your heart

- don't wash your hair and take a shower for the first two days after you arrive in Lhasa, eat less greasy food, and keep warm

- Don't take it lightly for friends who have never met high fever in Tibet before. Every time they enter the plateau, high fever will attack you. I don't know which time.
