Hi there,
About 2 months ago I took my open water certification in thailand. On my first dive I had some equalization problems and got a minor middle ear infection. No more problems after that. I also contracted hep a during this time which may have hidden other symptoms/made my physical condition worse.
I was fine for 1 week after the dives, then experienced a few days of dizziness. I then took a flight (no problems there). Rested for 3 weeks in one spot. I never experienced any tingling, except a when in salt water (this was a burning sensation, but could be due to the fact that i have very sensitive skin/eczema).
I then took 4 more flights.
I am now back home and have been feeling dizzy and fatigued lately, 2 months after my last dive. I went to see an ear doctor (due to some clogging/popping in my ear...thinking that the dizziness could be a result of that). He told me i should go to a hyperbaric chamber. From my research online that now seems rather pointless (too late?). Please let me know your opinion on this matter because Im really scared that i may have done some serious permanent damage to myself.
thanks,
peter
