A patient must visit their doctor daily to receive their red blood cell count and check up on their lungs. On top of that, patients must take daily medication including folic acid supplements3. To maintain a healthy lifestyle they must choose a healthy diet that provides them with the vitamins they need. To avoid pain they must ensure they avoid dehydration, extreme temperatures, and stressful situations. Their lifestyle must include regular exercise to ensure a healthy body, and when on trips they must fly on airplanes with pressurized cabins and plan ahead when travelling to high-altitude areas.
