It is not recommended for hyperthyroid patients to go to Tibet, which is a high altitude area and hyperthyroid patients are more prone to plateau reaction.
Hyperthyroidism, also known as hyperthyroidism, is a thyrotoxic disorder caused by the thyroid gland itself producing too much thyroid hormone. It can lead to symptoms such as agitation, palpitations, fatigue, fear of heat, excessive sweating, and hyperphagia.
If hyperthyroid patients go to Tibet and other high-altitude areas, due to thin air, less oxygen, easy to induce acute attacks of hyperthyroidism, can also cause plateau reaction, serious cases can also lead to heart failure and pulmonary edema and other symptoms, threatening the patient’s life safety.
In addition, if the hyperthyroidism patients do not get reasonable intervention and treatment, there will always be a high metabolism, the body in the high metabolism of the situation is more prone to hypoxia, this time to go to the plateau area will only aggravate the hypoxia, thus aggravating the patient’s condition.
Therefore, for hyperthyroidism patients, it is best to wait until the disease is cured and the thyroid function is restored, and then consider going to Tibet and other regions. Once hyperthyroidism occurs, you need to go to the hospital in time.
