The high altitude is due to the thin air, which is formed by low air pressure. The plateau climate is characterized by lack of oxygen, low temperature, strong solar radiation, large daily temperature difference, strong wind, and dryness. Tourists who come to the plateau from low altitude areas, due to the drastic changes in climate and other aspects, exceed the limit of normal human body automatic adjustment, in the area above 4000 meters above sea level, about 60 to 100 people have acute hypoxia reaction or disease, and its symptoms are common headache, dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, chest tightness, chest pain, fatigue and weakness, mild facial edema, chapped lips, epistaxis, etc.

In critical condition, blood pressure increases, the heart beats rapidly, and even a coma occurs. Some people have abnormal excitement such as drunkenness, excessive speech, unsteady gait, hallucinations, insomnia, etc.

You can take some medicines to relieve altitude sickness: plateau rhodiola, Omo blue tablets, American ginseng lozenges, Nordic Kang capsules (useful for relieving extreme fatigue), glucose solution (the kind in a box of five sticks, which has a certain effect when taking it when the symptoms of altitude sickness appear) and so on. For people with strong altitude adaptability, the symptoms of altitude sickness can be eliminated within 1-2 days, and those with weak adaptability can take 3-7 days.

In severe cases, oxygen or a doctor's doctor is used.

Go to the hospital for oxygen (this is not expensive) and supplement iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, and vitamin B2.

You can go to your local doctor to see how they can help you or buy some health supplements to relieve the reaction, the fastest effect is the best.

1 will. The plateau area has a dry climate, thin air, and little precipitation, and when you first enter the plateau area, you are prone to nosebleeds due to the rupture of the submucosal blood vessels in the dry nasal cavity, which is a relatively common altitude sickness.

The following is mainly an introduction to what to do when you have nosebleeds due to altitude sickness.

2. When there are many nosebleeds in the nose, the first thing to do is to stop the bleeding by pressurization. Stretch your neck forward slightly, don't tilt your head, pinch your nostrils with your thumb and forefinger, and let go for 2 seconds every 30 seconds, so that what has accumulated in your nose must flow out so that it doesn't flow into your throat. Pinch your nose repeatedly until the nosebleeds stop.

3. Apply ice packs to the nose, due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the broken capillaries in the nasal cavity will constrict, which can play a role in stopping bleeding. Do not tilt your head back when applying ice to avoid choking on nosebleeds.

4. After the nosebleed stops, use a cotton swab dipped in vitamin E ointment, or other antibiotics and steroid ointment, and gently apply it to the nasal cavity, which can promote wound healing, moisten the nasal mucosa, and prevent the blood vessel from rupturing again.

Blow out the blood clot.

Before stopping the bleeding, try to blow out the blood clot. Because the blood clot that is blocked in the blood vessel prevents the blood vessel from closing. There are elastic fibers in the blood vessels, and when you remove the blood clot, these elastic fibers have a way to contract, so that the bleeding opening closes.

Sometimes, blowing your nose and pinching your nose a little with your hand will stop the bleeding.

Stuff gauze or damp cotton.

Stuff a small piece of sterilized wet gauze in each nostril, and you can also use Neo-synephrine decongestant or Afrin nasal spray to wet the cotton to cool the nostrils and help stop bleeding. But there are also experts who prefer to wet the cotton with white vinegar. The acetic acid in the vinegar burns slightly.

But decongestants only provide a temporary stop to the bleeding, and if you abuse them, they can damage your nasal membranes.

Pinch Yuezi. After blowing the nosebleeds (to remove blood clots) and stuffing cotton, pinch the nostrils together with your thumb and forefinger and press them tightly for 5-7 minutes. If the bleeding does not stop, repeat the cotton stuffing and nose pinching, still pressing for 5-7 minutes. This should have a hemostatic effect.

Sit up straight If you lie down or tilt your head, it will allow blood to flow down your throat. You can sit in a chair and lean forward (don't put your head back).

Apply a cold compress. Coldness causes blood vessels to constrict and reduce bleeding. You can apply crushed ice or an ice towel to your nose, neck and cheeks.

Go to the hospital for oxygen (this is not expensive) and supplement iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, and vitamin B2.
