Tibet Travel Tips - Things To Concern Before You Travel to Tibet
Tibet is also called as third pole of the earth and its altitude is always considerable before you make your Tibet travel arrangements, but there are always have precautions that you can reduce the risk of altitude problems if you know how to prepare the Tibet tours in a right way and take correct precautions for the altitude problems.
Here are some important Tibet travel tips about the acute mountain sickness by local Tibetan travel experts.
Acute mountain sickness can strike from about 3,000m upwards. It is more likely to affect those who ascend rapidly and those who over-exert themselves. Teenagers seem to be particularly prone. Past experiences is not always a good guide; some people spent years in Peru travelling constantly between sea level and very high altitude never suffered the slightest symptoms, then was severely affected climbing Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
On reaching heights above 3,000m,heart pounding and shortness of breath, especially on exertion are almost universal and a normal response to the lack of oxygen in the air. Acute mountain sickness takes a few hours or days to come on and presents with headache,lassitude, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.Insomnia is common and often associated with a suffocating feeling when lying down in bed. keen observers may note that their breathing tends to was and wane at night and their fact tends to be puffy in the mornings-this is all part of the syndrome. If the symptoms are mild, the treatment is rest, painkillers (preferably not Aspirin based) for the headache and anti-sickness pills for vomiting. Oxygen may help at very high altitudes but unlikely to be available unless on an organized Tibet tour from a local Tibet travel company.
The best way of preventing acute mountain sickness is a relatively slow ascend and when trekking through the Himalayas to high altitude, some time spend in the foothills getting fit and adapting to moderate altitude is beneficial. On arrival at places over 3,000m, a few hours rest in a chair and the avoidance of alcohol, cigarettes and heavy food will go a long way towards preventing acute mountain sickness. Should the symptoms be severe and prolonged, it is best to descend to a lower altitude and to reascend slowly or in stages. The symptoms disappear very quickly with even a few 100m of descent. If a slow staged attempt is impossible because of shortage of time, then the drug Acetazolamide (Diamox) can be used as a preventative and continued during the ascent. There is good evidence of the value of this drug in the prevention of acute mountain sickness but some people do experience funny side effects. The usual dose is 500 milligrams of the slow release preparation each night, starting the night before ascending above 3,000m.
If someone badly affected by the acute mountain sickness, then we would highly suggest you to see a local doctor and try to go down to lower altitude as soon as possible.
