How long is the appropriate amount of oxygen inhalation for altitude sickness?

The characteristic of the plateau is the high altitude and low oxygen content, which can have a great impact on human health. In an oxygen-deficient environment, people are prone to altitude sickness, which threatens their life and health. Once altitude sickness occurs, immediate treatment is required, the sooner the better. The main treatment method is to inhale an appropriate amount of oxygen in time. Let’s take a look at the appropriate time for oxygen inhalation for altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness does not recommend people to rush to breathe oxygen when they first arrive at the plateau, because this will affect the body's timely adaptation to the plateau's altitude and climatic conditions. Of course, this only applies to people with relatively mild altitude sickness. If the altitude sickness is severe and the body is weak, it is recommended to breathe oxygen in time, especially at night, because this will help alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness, get a good rest and maintain physical strength.

Keep a good attitude towards altitude sickness. For those who are visiting the plateau for the first time, they should eliminate unnecessary fear of the plateau, avoid excessive mental stress, and allow the body to get sufficient rest. Eliminate fear and tension and learn about the plateau environment, characteristics and medical care from experienced tourists to enhance self-confidence. Eat more sugary foods in your diet, and high-sugar, high-protein foods are best, which can help overcome the adverse effects of hypoxia.

This is the end of the introduction to the question of when to use oxygen when having altitude sickness. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of it. This can effectively relieve altitude sickness, but you cannot use oxygen immediately. Once you have altitude sickness, you need to go to the hospital for some examinations and try to rest as much as possible. Stop smoking and drink less alcohol to reduce oxygen consumption. Finally, it is recommended not to drink alcohol in plateau areas, especially for middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, because drinking alcohol will increase the burden on people's heart and blood vessels, and often aggravate altitude sickness, and even induce the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage.
