Airplanes provide the fastest way to travel from one point of the world to another, which is very important in an age of increased speeds, when there is simply no time to travel slowly by train. But a flight is always stressful for the body, and not only because of the rapid change of time zones and climate, but also because of changes in atmospheric pressure, long sitting in one place. If there are health problems, then the flight puts an increased burden on the body and is a risk factor for complications.
Instructions
Step 1
To make your flight as comfortable as possible, follow a few simple rules. Always buy only first or business class tickets, as the most difficult flight is in economy class.
Step 2
Book a seat near the window. If you have problems with the cardiovascular system, varicose veins, blood diseases, asthma and other serious illnesses, then visit a doctor before the flight and receive recommendations on the safety of the flight. The doctor will prescribe additional medications to help minimize the potential consequences of the flight.
Step 3
If you do not have time to visit a doctor, then take the pills prescribed for constant use. For varicose veins, vascular problems, take an aspirin tablet just before the flight, of course, if you can tolerate it. Take your slippers with you and change into them immediately. Also, don't forget to bring a bottle of clean, still water.
Step 4
Do not overeat before the flight, and on the plane also do not overload the lunch served. It is better to have a light breakfast and have lunch immediately after the flight.
Step 5
If your ears are blocked, then it is rational to use earplugs, especially during climb and landing.
Step 6
Tune in to sleep on the plane, take light herbal anti-anxiety medications.
Step 7
Observe the daily schedule of the time zone in which you plan to fly 10 days before the flight.
Step 8
Never drink alcohol, even if you have no health problems. When alcohol is taken, there is a sharp expansion of the blood vessels, and then the same rapid narrowing. If we add to this the changes in atmospheric pressure, then even a healthy organism can not stand it.
Step 9
During pregnancy, flying is highly undesirable, especially if there is a threat of miscarriage or there has been an experience of miscarriage. But if you really need to fly, then consult your doctor. Wear anti-varicose tights and a maternity bandage.
Step 10
If you are not feeling well, give up the flight. It is better to lose money and time than the most precious thing you have - your life.
