Why Do So Many People Get Altitude Sickness When Taking the Train to Tibet, But Not When Flying?
Travel can be taken with a simple backpack, embarking on a journey, passing through one city after another, to feel the beautiful natural landscapes, splendid ethnic customs, and long-standing historical cultures. It may bring a different color to your life. Many people say that people should go out and travel, and in their youth, while they are full of spirit and like to show off, leave the cities that can be seen with open eyes, find a place where their hearts are quiet and clean, and let themselves become like crystal transparent, and finally take some beautiful and playful photos, leaving them for their gradually aging selves.
Regarding Tibet, many people have different opinions, some think it is a sacred place that everyone should go once in a lifetime, where their minds can be purified; while others think Tibet is a place full of challenges, hoping to conquer it with a fearless heart, and finally enjoy its unique beauty. Nowadays, the roads to Tibet are almost full of vehicles and people every day, all attracted by Tibet, but Tibet is not a place that can be visited casually. If you want to go, you must overcome many difficulties, and the first one is altitude sickness.
Many people feel uncomfortable after arriving in Tibet, even lying in bed and using oxygen to move around, which is a very unpleasant thing. And altitude sickness cannot be underestimated, which may cause headaches, insomnia, shortness of breath, and loss of appetite in the light case, and may even cause damage to organs in the severe case. Therefore, many people who want to go to Tibet stop because of fear of altitude sickness. However, some people have discovered a strange thing, namely why so many people take the train to Tibet and suffer from altitude sickness, but when flying, they don't. The answer is one.
First, we need to know what is the main cause of altitude sickness, is the rapid entry of the human body into the high-altitude environment with a pressure of more than 3000 meters, and many high-altitude regions are the same. However, when people enter Tibet by train, the body gradually enters the environment with low pressure and low oxygen, and people with poor physique will naturally be unable to bear it. So why doesn't altitude sickness occur when flying? The main reason is that the aircraft is in a pressurized closed state and provides some oxygen supply, which naturally helps to alleviate altitude sickness, so the human body is relatively better.
However, flying to Tibet also has a bad place, namely when you get off the plane without an oxygen mask, it is very difficult because suddenly entering another environment without a transition stage. Therefore, it is better to take the train. And when you arrive in Tibet, you should not do strenuous exercise or speak loudly. Many people were too confident in their bodies before, thinking that altitude sickness didn't matter to them, but they regretted it in the end.
Tibet is indeed a beautiful place, but when going there, you should first check your physical condition. If your body doesn't allow it, you should not force yourself, because life is the most important thing, right? Well, everyone, what do you want to say about this?
