How to relieve insomnia caused by altitude sickness

Altitude sickness is a very normal thing. On the plateau, the air pressure is low and the oxygen content is low. After a long time, you will feel mild hypoxia and it will be even more difficult to sleep at night. It is recommended to bring some vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins when you are in the plateau. Try not to take a shower before you adapt to the plateau. If you feel really uncomfortable, consult a local doctor to get some sleeping pills. Be careful not to run too fast in the plateau to avoid hypoxia.

It is normal to have trouble sleeping in plateau areas because the air has less oxygen, which triggers altitude sickness. Also, when you are new to a place, your nerves are more excited. The combination of the two makes it easy to suffer from insomnia. If you have no other physical discomfort, it is recommended that you take some sleeping pills to relieve the symptoms.

Because if you don’t sleep well, it will easily aggravate the altitude sickness, so you can consult a local doctor and ask him to prescribe some sleeping pills for you to take before going to bed, and then maintain a good attitude, because a good attitude is the best way to fight altitude sickness.

3. In addition, when you first arrive at the plateau, do not do high-intensity activities such as jogging or running, do not do physical labor, and do not overeat, as this will increase the burden on your body. Do not drink alcohol or smoke, and eat more vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in vitamins.

Note:

In addition, if the altitude sickness is more severe, you can take some medicines to relieve altitude sickness, such as Rhodiola rosea, Gaoyuan'an, American ginseng lozenges, Baifuning, etc. These medicines can effectively relieve altitude sickness.

1. Symptoms of altitude sickness include dizziness, difficulty breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. First of all, you should maintain a positive attitude mentally and don't be overly nervous. Carry a water bottle, or some sugar cubes or some glucose powder with you. When you feel difficulty breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, you can drink some to relieve it.

2 After the altitude sickness occurs, it will generally be relieved within three days. Do not do too strenuous exercise and take proper rest. Don't try to be stubborn. Wait until the body has fully adapted. Be sure to keep the room ventilated when sleeping and do not stay in a confined space that makes you unable to breathe.

3 Try not to take a shower after arriving at the plateau, especially in the first three days when we have not adapted to the weather. Taking a shower will lower our immunity and we will not be able to adapt to the climate, which will lead to a cold. If the situation is particularly serious, you can carry an oxygen cylinder with you to relieve it.

Note:

1. Maintain a positive attitude and don’t let tension bother you

2. Be sure to pay attention to ventilation when sleeping.

3. If you suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, or high blood lipids, try not to go to plateau areas to avoid danger.

4. Try not to take a bath in the first three days after arriving at the plateau to avoid catching a cold.
