Went diving again two weeks ago.
I definitely had the same kind of anxiety as before. Part of the
problem was an ill fitting hood and a new BC on which I hadn't adjusted the weight yet. I managed to grit my teeth
and descend and after about 10 minutes was distracted enough to feel comfortable again.
One factor I think was definitely contributing was, the hood
was choking me and I was taking an antibiotic named doconex. After this dive I noticed that when I take the Doconex, I feel short of breath for no reason. I'm definitely inclined to believe now that my panic was caused by CO2.
