Denise,
So glad to hear your doing better now!!
As for your Endocrinologist Dr., I use Dr. Joe Teague in B'Ham 205-502-6600
He is the best!! He will test everything!! You will feel like he is a vampire ( they take soo much blood) to check it, and then you go back in two weeks to see 2-4 pages of little print results. He is very very knowledgeable and he knows a little about diving. He will get everything properly balanced! Trust me on that!
I pray you find out what caused this...and more importantly you continue to improve with your health.
Tootles, Sheree'

WOW Denise, I haven't been up to date on Scubaboard in the last few weeks and this is what I logged into. Sorry to here that this has happened and I wish you to have a fast recovery. Thanks for sharing.
We had an IPE event here that may have begun underwater, but it was recognized on exit from a full-length dive. It was much milder than Denise's, and IIRC, the victim didn't even seek medical attention immediately.
I seriously wonder how many unexplained panic and death events might be due to this. I doubt you can distinguish IPE from drowning on autopsy, if someone has ended up breathing water.
I think the bottom line is that, if you don't feel right with respect to your breathing, whether it's cough or chest pressure or shortness of breath, while you are on a dive, you should get out of the water and assess the situation there.

Sounds like DAN contributed to this happier ending. The cardiologists at SAMC are a good group, former customers of mine, but this just goes to show that nothing beats having specialists on call who are trained in diver-specific diagnoses and treatment!
IPE seems so random, I'm curious what the professional advice is regarding diving after an IPE incident - yes, no? Does having one incident indicate an underlying issue the way a PFO inclines one towards DCS?
Regardless, may you have a quick recovery!
