Tips on ECS prevention<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Here are a few tips to help avoid economy class
\nsyndrome (ECS):
\n * If you have blood coagulability problems, you are advised to
\nconsult your doctor prior to making a trip involving long hours
\nof sitting. You may be advised to take low dosages of aspirin to
\nhelp thin your blood.
\n * Book a seat on the aisle or in the front row, where you will
\nhave more leg room or easier access to the aisle to stretch your
\nlegs if early symptoms start.
\n * Walk up and down the aisle periodically.
\n * If it is difficult to leave your seat, stretch your legs or
\nmove them repeatedly, as if you were stepping on a brake pedal in
\na car, for a few minutes every hour to help improve blood
\ncirculation in the legs. It is not too late to walk in the aisle
\nor to move your legs even after you start coughing or coughing up
\nblood.
\n * Drink a glass of water every two hours to prevent dehydration,
\nwhich also increases the risk of developing a blood clot.
\n * Avoid drinking alcohol as it will encourage blood thickening.
\n * Do not smoke and avoid caffeine.
\n * Wear loose fitting clothes and comfortable socks and shoes to
\nenable good blood circulation in the legs. (lup)<\/p>",
