Inconveniences of air travel
That's it, the holidays have arrived and to win the destination of your dreams, you have to fly. Be aware though that an air flight exposes a few physical constraints and can be the cause of minor health problems that must be known.
Ready to ship? Doctissimo offers a final check-up before takeoff.
First, get ready!
You're afraid of flying? Try to calm down. Despite the risks inherent in moves, the aircraft remains in effect currently the safest mode of transport. If you're really too stressed, talk to your doctor. It will help you overcome your fears.
Fly If you smoke a lot and dreading the long flight non-smoking mail it is better perhaps take home some chewing gum to reduce nicotine cravings. Even put a patch before the flight. Because we saw heavy smokers become so anxious and irritable during the journey they came to attack the crew!
Two altitude effects: a decrease in pressure and a decrease in oxygen
You're on board, have crossed security systems. The plane took off on time. Whew! But some elements are useful to recall that your trip does not impact on your health.
For example, the barometric pressure at the edge of a flight is lower than that found on land and corresponds to a majority of the aircraft at an altitude of 1500 m 2 500 of the above Wed This does pose any problem. However, if you are a diver, it is best to observe a period of a minimum between your sport and air travel day to avoid decompression sickness.
Due to the drop in pressure, the oxygen content is slightly lower than on the ground. In the vast majority of individuals, it is of no consequence. But it can hamper carrying a heart disease or severe respiratory illness, which should therefore discuss their travel plans with their doctor prior to displacement. Eventually, they will also benefit from additional oxygen.
Beware ears!
Another effect of altitude and barometric depression is that it increases the volume of gas. At the time of the rise of the aircraft, the air that is contained in the sinuses and middle ear behind the eardrum expands and exits through the tubes connected to the nose. During the descent of the aircraft, on the contrary, it tends to penetrate into these cavities through these tubes. To tolerate these changes, it is essential that good air circulation.
To prevent damage to the eardrum, it is advisable to yawn or chew and give candy to children during takeoff and landing. Better to also avoid air travel when you have a cold, an ear infection or sinusitis because the air can not then move freely inside the cavities of the face, which increases the risk of being a victim of a very painful barotrauma.
