High Altitude Sickness:
Because of the high altitude, thin air, cold and arid
atmosphere of Tibet, travelers usually will have altitude
sickness of different degrees, such as headache, insomnia,
depression and nervousness. To cure these sickness.
We would remind you to have enough rest, drink lots
of water (at least 3 litters per day), not to strain
or exhaust yourself, move slowly and breath deeply.
For the light sick ones medicines is not necessary but
rest is a prime necessity, While for the seriously sick,
tours must be stopped immediately. The patient should
lie down in bed and if possible should inhale oxygen
(hotels can always provide oxygen bags and cylinders.).
Inhaling oxygen is a convenient and effective way of
curing altitude sickness.
