I would like to ask what kind of people are prone to altitude sickness

Generally, fat people and people with weak physique are prone to altitude sickness, and they are also prone to altitude sickness after catching a cold or overwork.

Note: In the first two years, I often traveled to the plateau by car, for example, from the end of July to the beginning of August 2017, when I invited about 8 people and 3 cars to travel to Daocheng Yading and Seda, the two fat people in the same company had serious altitude sickness. The altitude of Daocheng Yading Scenic Area:

Luorong Cattle Farm is 4180 meters, Milk Sea is 4600 meters, and Wuse Sea is 4700 meters (5 kilometers from Luorong Cattle Farm to Milk Sea, and then 500 meters to Wuse Sea). The altitude of the county seat of Serta is 3,880 meters, and the highest altitude of Larung Gar Buddhist College is about 4,000 meters.

Man. Centimeter. 58 kg. 13 seconds for 100 meters.

Long-term residence at an altitude of about 1000 meters. There is altitude sickness in abnormal people.

Poor cardiopulmonary function, severe anemia, is more likely to have high reaction, of course, this is not absolute, but also varies from person to person, high reaction and many factors are related, the environment, physical condition, amount of exercise, etc. Pay attention to keep warm and don't catch a cold, you can take Rhodiola Rosea some time before departure to help the body lay a foundation and prevent it, and after arriving at the plateau, take glucose liquid and Omer brand blue tablets to help the body adapt, and it will not be a big problem to adapt.

If you have never entered the plateau, before entering the plateau, you must conduct a strict physical examination, such as finding lesions of the heart, lungs, brain, liver, kidneys, severe anemia or hypertension, please do not blindly enter the plateau. If you only suffer from general illnesses, it is essential to take the necessary precautions beforehand, such as carrying oxygen with you. Death due to altitude sickness is generally caused by flare-ups caused by altitude sickness.

Therefore, patients with colds, heart, lungs, brain, liver, kidneys, severe anemia or high blood pressure are generally advised not to enter Tibet, for fear of altitude sickness causing these diseases.

There are basically the following groups of people who are prone to altitude sickness:

1.Obese people are generally more likely to develop MTB than thinner people due to higher oxygen consumption.

2.People who usually have low blood pressure are prone to altitude sickness.

3.People with low blood sugar are prone to altitude sickness.

4.Older people are more susceptible to altitude sickness.

5.Sub-healthy people are more likely to have altitude sickness.

If you have never entered the plateau, before entering the plateau, be sure to conduct a strict physical examination, such as finding lesions of the heart, lungs, brain, liver, kidneys, severe anemia or hypertension, do not blindly enter the plateau. If you only suffer from a general illness, it is essential to take the necessary precautions beforehand. In general, people with poor physical fitness need to prepare preventive drugs in advance when entering the plateau area.

Some people say that people with good physique, young adults, fat people, and high people are prone to high reaction because of their high oxygen demand. There is no scientific basis for this, and anyone who enters the plateau can experience altitude sickness.

Patients with severe anemia, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not travel to the plateau area. For patients with severe colds, it is recommended to cure the cold before leaving before entering Tibet. Due to the destruction of their own body functions, patients with colds have weakened their ability to resist diseases and their own resistance to the disease.

If you enter Tibet with a severe cold, the cold can easily be transformed into other altitude diseases, such as pulmonary edema, which will be life-threatening if not timed. General cold medicine is a must.

Under normal circumstances, you can take Rhodiola Rosea a certain time in advance to help the body lay a foundation and prevent it.

1. People with cardiovascular disease. Patients with coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, myocarditis, history of cardiomyopathy, and heart failure are included.

2. Patients with high blood pressure. Because the high-altitude environment causes blood vessels to constrict, making the patient's blood pressure higher.

3. People with poor lung function. For example, patients with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, tuberculosis, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis will aggravate the symptoms of such patients because of the thin air, which makes the oxygen content in the blood vessels lower.

Fourth, cold patients. Because the body is in a state of stress when people have a cold, the bronchi and respiratory tract are also in an unhealthy state, and if you enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at this time, the condition will be aggravated.

5. Patients with hyperlipidemia. The oxygen-thin plateau environment can promote the increase of erythrocytes in the body, so the blood of patients with hyperlipidemia will become more viscous, resulting in hypoxia.

From a physiological point of view, the essence of altitude sickness is that the hemoglobin of people from the plains decreases its ability to carry oxygen in the environment of low altitude air pressure, resulting in insufficient body supply. Therefore, in general, people with more vigorous metabolism and intense physiological activities are more likely to have altitude sickness.

As the saying goes, altitude sickness "bully the strong but not the weak, and bully men and not women." "That's the truth.

Knowledge Expansion:

Altitude sickness is acute altitude sickness (acutehighaltitudedisease, ahad), which is a natural physiological reaction produced by the body to adapt to the changes in air pressure difference, low oxygen content, and dry air caused by altitude after reaching a certain altitude, and the altitude generally reaches about 2700 meters. The symptoms of altitude sickness are generally manifested as smile: headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anorexia, slight fever, dizziness, fatigue, etc.

Some people have different manifestations due to low oxygen content: purple lips and fingertips, drowsiness, hyperactivity, and inability to sleep. Some people appear due to dry air:

**Roughness, chapped lips, bleeding or blood clots in the nostrils, etc.
