Plateau reaction is dyspnea, plateau reaction has other symptoms, patients should rest or oxygen in time,
Difficulty in breathing is one of the manifestations of plateau reaction, mostly occurring during acute plateau reaction. Due to the low air pressure in the plateau area, after entering the plateau area, the partial pressure of oxygen will be reduced by the influence of air pressure, causing the human body to lack of oxygen and the symptoms of dyspnea. At this time, the pathological manifestation is pulmonary edema, because of the dyspnea, the patient also has accelerated respiratory manifestations.
In addition to dyspnea, patients will also experience forehead pain, chest tightness, vomiting, drowsiness, palpitations, lethargy, loss of appetite, fatigue, sleep disorders, dizziness and other symptoms.
The symptoms can be relieved after 24-48 hours at the plateau, and may disappear after a few days or be relieved at a lower altitude. However, a small proportion will worsen and develop into plateau cerebral edema or plateau pulmonary edema, which requires vigilance.
When symptoms such as dyspnea occur when you first arrive at a plateau area, you should promptly solve the problem through rest, oxygen therapy, etc., and seek professional medical help if necessary.
