Last year, I had the opportunity to fly a few times on Delta. Not only did I see a totally different side of the world, but I had a chance to try out their new inflight entertainment system. What a difference a few short hours makes! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how much fun you can have on a plane, even when it’s been a long while since your last flight.
Taking The Pill Early After Your Flight
Let’s start from the beginning. For those of you who have just found out that you’re going to be traveling internationally by air, you’re probably wondering about taking Viagra or some other pill to prevent altitude sickness. You’re going to be at a high altitude for a long time, and the effects of low oxygen can be quite dramatic. While there is no direct correlation between altitude sickness and Viagra, it’s pretty clear that there’s a connection. In fact, many men have used Viagra as a form of preventive therapy for altitude sickness.
Now, it is important to note here that travel sickness can be a more serious issue than altitude sickness. For some people, movement by air or any sort of motion, even when it’s barely perceptible, can cause them to feel ill. If you’re one of these people, you may experience some discomfort when taking a flight. Although there are ways to prevent and relieve travel sickness, it’s often better to prepare for the possibility and take preventive measures against altitude sickness.
How Long Should You Wait?
For those of you who don’t experience any problems with motion sickness on flights, you may be wondering how long you should wait before taking Viagra or another pill to prevent altitude sickness. The answer is: it depends. Most men begin to feel effects within a few hours of going up, while others may not feel anything for a couple of days. Your body is going to adjust to the higher altitude, and there is no clear indication as to how long it will take for this to happen.
Avoid Peaks And Valleys
Another thing you may want to do is to avoid going through peaks and valleys when traveling. If you take a flight that crosses through a valley, you’ll notice that the air feels a little thin. While it may not feel like you need to breathe, it certainly feels like you’re not getting enough oxygen. For this reason, it’s best to stay away from valleys when possible. Instead, find ways to go around them or through them as little as possible, as long as you’re not required to stop inside a valley.
Check The Weather
Finally, make sure to check the weather before you leave. Climbing into the air can change the weather, making it either better or worse. For instance, if you’re flying in the mountains, but the weather in the valley is bad, you may find that you’re not able to clear the clouds and see the sun for part of the flight. Your body may not adjust well to these conditions and you’ll have a harder time staying healthy while on your trip. If possible, find out what the weather is like in the area where you’re going and travel during good weather conditions.
In some cases, men have had severe reactions to altitude, and even those who have mild reactions sometimes experience symptoms. While most people will feel better after just a few hours at a high altitude, in some cases, it can take a couple of days to recover fully. In other cases, it can even take longer. It’s a bit of a crapshoot, but many men choose to take Viagra before they go on long car rides or flights. If you decide to take the gamble and opt for Viagra on the flight, make sure to follow the instructions of the person who sold it to you. Taking the pill too late may still allow you to have some effects after your flight, but it’ll be milder and easier to recover from if you take it earlier.
Taking anti-histamines or other drugs can also help prevent or relieve altitude sickness. But, again, there’s no clear indication as to how much and what type of medication is effective. Some men have found great success with cimetidine, a drug commonly used to treat ulcers in the stomach. While others prefer to avoid drugs completely and opt for alternative methods of prevention such as exercise or drinking plenty of fluids. There is no known way to prevent altitude sickness, so it’s always better to be on the safe side.
In some cases, men who suffer from insomnia have found great success with the natural medication valerian root. For those of you who are trying to sleep on a plane, but the motion is bothersome, try taking a little before your flight and see if it helps you get a good night’s sleep. In some cases, men have found that a tiny pinch of the herb helps them sleep through long car rides and even longer flights. While it can be quite effective, valerian root is not for everyone, and in some cases may even be harmful. Before you try it, make sure that you’re not allergic to it and that it will not cause you any problems. If you decide to try it, be careful not to take more than a tiny pinch before your flight.
Protect Yourself In Other Ways
Besides taking the above suggestions, make sure to protect yourself in other ways. For instance, bring your own pillow, and make sure to use it while on the flight. One of the things that can make a trip more comfortable is to ensure that your body is resting on something that feels good and isn’t too soft. This is also something you can do on the way down to avoid further health problems. After all, even a 5-hour layover in Frankfurt can make a man sick if he’s not careful!
Avoid all forms of stress as much as possible while on your trip. There are plenty of ways to prevent stress, from going to the gym to taking yoga classes, or even going for a stroll. Find what works best for you and stick with it. Remember, there is no single perfect way to travel, and the above tips will only get you so far to ensure you have a comfortable trip. Ultimately, you’ll have to find what makes you happiest and stick with it.
Above all, make sure to enjoy yourself! Traveling is one of the most beautiful things that many men experience in their lifetime. While the above suggestions will help increase your chances of having a comfortable trip and prevent most of the issues that come with traveling, nothing can substitute for good old-fashioned common sense and knowledge. Knowing what to expect and how to prepare for it makes all the difference. Make sure to have everything written down beforehand and know your limits. Above all, don’t worry about what others think. You’re on a one-of-a-kind journey to see the world, and you should be enjoying yourself!
