Plateau hypertension requires treatment, which can include oxygen therapy, medication, and altitude reduction. If not treated, it may even cause death.
1. Lowering altitude: that is, descending and stopping ascending is the best way to treat plateau hypertension, and the symptoms can be relieved when generally descending 300~1000m.
2. Oxygen therapy: such as oxygen inhalation, portable hyperbaric chamber, etc., which can make the symptoms improve sufficiently, but still need to descend safely.
3. Drug therapy: such as the use of nifedipine and other drugs.
4. Others: Those who normally suffer from hypertension should avoid traveling to plateau areas as much as possible to avoid aggravation of symptoms; if they need to travel to plateau areas, they should gradually increase the altitude and carry medications.
If high blood pressure occurs in the plateau, you should immediately look for medical personnel for treatment, and it is recommended that medication be used under the guidance of a doctor.
