3. What is Altitude Sickness
Altitude sickness is a natural physiological response that occurs when a person reaches a certain altitude. The body adapts to the changes caused by the difference in air pressure, lower oxygen levels, and drier air at higher altitudes. It’s a common issue in Tibet’s travel climate. Altitude sickness usually occurs at altitudes of around 2,700 meters or higher. Tibet Travel Guide
4. What are the Symptoms of Altitude Sickness
Symptoms of altitude sickness typically include headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, loss of appetite, mild fever, dizziness, and weakness. Some people may experience purple lips and fingertips, drowsiness, hyperactivity, or insomnia due to low oxygen levels. Some people may experience rough skin, chapped lips, nosebleeds, or blood clots due to dry air.
4. How to Relieve Altitude Sickness
Oxygen inhalation. If you are going to an area with a high altitude, it’s best to bring an oxygen tank with you. If you experience altitude sickness at high altitudes, you can use oxygen inhalation to promote your body’s health and avoid discomfort or breathing difficulties.
Get enough rest. If you experience symptoms of altitude sickness, you must get enough rest. You should avoid overexertion to prevent altitude sickness from worsening or causing breathing difficulties. It’s best to rest in a seated position and avoid frequent outdoor activities. Maintain a positive attitude when experiencing altitude sickness, and avoid getting too emotional.
Keep warm. When engaging in activities at higher altitudes, wear more layers of clothing to keep your body warm and prevent colds, which can lower your body’s immune system and make it harder to cope with altitude sickness.
Pay attention to your diet. When experiencing altitude sickness, you should eat smaller, more frequent meals. Eat easily digestible foods to avoid altitude sickness affecting your digestive system. Eat high-carbohydrate and vitamin-rich foods, and consume some noodles, vegetables, and fruits to alleviate altitude sickness.
