Does anyone know of potential side effects from hyperbaric treatment or what to expect as one recovers from dcs?
On July 20th I was placed into a hyperbaric chamber to be treated for delayed dcs symptoms (my last dive was July 16th and symptoms did not appear until July 19th). With hyperbaric treatment the dcs symptoms went away, but I came out of the chamber with a feeling that can best be described as a "heaviness" or maybe even weakness in my left arm which has not subsided. The hyperbaric doctor didn't seem terribly concerned, but I'm just wondering if this could be a side effect of the hyperbaric treatment or if something else could be going on. Thoughts, anyone?
