Rating: 8,5/10 (3524 votes)  Air travel is fast and, in some cases, the only possible way to travel. For example, you go overseas to meet with distant relatives, take part in an overseas conference, or relax. However, not every person feels comfortable at the height. How can the situation be improved? You will find out about this in our article. What preparatory measures need to be taken? Some feel anxiety that they are flying for the first time, others - because of discomfort (air sickness, fear of heights, problems with blood vessels). To reduce the stress that the body experiences during flight, it is necessary to take a number of actions before it.  On the plane First of all, you need to get rid of psychological causes - panic, fear of heights, anxiety. Many people wear a pectoral cross or put in their pocket the icon of the patron saint of travelers - Nikolai the Pleasant. However, you can take with you any icon that instills a sense of calm in you. If you have medical conditions such as hypertension, varicose veins, vegetative vascular dystonia or thrombosis, visit a doctor before your flight. He or she will prescribe pills to lower your blood pressure or blood thinning medications. There are times when the flight must be canceled - for example, after undergoing surgery, heart attack, stroke. When diving, remember that the period from your last dive to your flight should not be less than 24 hours. Before the flight, refresh yourself with light food - vegetables, fruits. Prepare ginger tea or drink still water. Tea and coffee should be avoided, since these drinks excite the nervous system and prevent relaxation. Clothes should be loose and simple, shoes should be comfortable. By the way, it will not be superfluous to take off your shoes during the flight or at least relax the laces. Purchase special neck pillows to prevent neck stiffness and head strain. Get a good night's sleep before the flight. Getting rid of air sickness Air sickness manifests itself in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy, inability to coordinate movements and navigate in space. To get rid of them, start taking vitamin B1 14 days before your flight. Naturally, it is found in foods such as seeds, beans, avocados, unprocessed brown rice. When you are at the check-in desk, ask for seats near the window or near the wings of the aircraft in the aisle area - they are the least likely to get seasick. For those suffering from air sickness, a number of drugs have been released - for example, DRAMINA tablets. Take 1 or 2 tablets half an hour before your flight and symptoms such as nausea will disappear. In addition, the drug has a calming effect. Its action lasts 6 hours. 0.1-1 tablet can be given to children from one year old. However, read the instructions carefully - it lists the diseases in which the medicine cannot be used. Another equally effective drug is called"AVIA-MORE". It can be produced in the form of caramels, tablets or granules. AVIA-MORE contains natural ingredients. The drug does not harm the body and relieves diseases of the vestibular apparatus. It can be used by children from 3 years old. You need to take the medicine an hour before landing, repeat the dose every hour.  "AVIA-MORE" Finally, there is one more drug -" AVIOPLANT". The ginger powder contained in it relieves nausea and vomiting. Take two capsules half an hour before your flight. Repeat if necessary after 4 hours. Children of"AVIOPLANT" can use the drug from the age of 12. There is an external remedy -"EXTRAPLAST" anti-motion sickness plaster. Attach it behind your ears 30 minutes before the flight. You can also give it to children - it is harmless, since it contains plant components. During the flight If you wear lenses, put them in your carry-on bag during the flight as they cause dry and red eyes. For those suffering from dry skin, it is recommended to lubricate it with cream. If you are suffering from dry nasal mucosa, inject"Aquirin" or any other nasal spray. To prevent leg leakage and fatigue, you can lubricate them before the flight with ANTISTAX or VENITAN creams, or do simple gymnastics - leg rotation, dancing,"Scissors". Do not sit cross-legged, change your posture more often, move around the cabin. Suck on mints to relieve congestion. Simulating yawning or opening the mouth helps - this normalizes the pressure that the eardrums are experiencing. If you catch a cold, try to postpone the flight, as during it you may have a feeling of explosion and rumbling in your head. Do not drink alcohol - this often leads to the fact that a person loses control of himself, and the crew decides to disembark urgently. The culprit is threatened with arrests, fines, penalties and blacklisting. By putting these tips into practice, you will feel immediate improvement. Happy flight! cross your legs, change your posture more often, move around the cabin.
