Can people with low blood pressure go to Tibet?

It is not recommended for patients with low blood pressure to go to Tibet. Tibet has a high altitude and thin air. Patients with weak constitution or low blood pressure will have very serious altitude sickness when they go to Tibet. Patients with low blood pressure need to find out the cause of their low blood pressure before they can receive symptomatic treatment. Most patients with low blood pressure are caused by insufficient nutrition and lack of attention to nutritional supplementation. Therefore, patients need to increase nutrition, drink more water, and exercise more. After the blood volume increases, the problem of low blood pressure can be solved. Patients with low blood pressure can drink some coffee or strong tea in moderation, which can excite the central nervous system and improve the central function of vasoconstriction.
