Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How can I self-treat acute altitude sickness?Doctor's answer:
Altitude sickness generally refers to a choking symptom that reappears when one returns to high-altitude areas. Everyone who goes to high-altitude areas will experience altitude sickness to varying degrees. First, it is important to suppress the fear of altitude sickness in oneself. Try to relax your mind and avoid strenuous exercise. Pay attention to rest. The diet should be light and varied, supplemented with high-quality protein. Smoking and drinking beer are strictly forbidden. If altitude sickness reappears significantly, oxygen can be provided promptly.
