Las Vegas

[ARIZONASTATE]

I would like to know if any one lives in the Las Vegas area? The reason is im looking for a good doctor that I can talk with about diving and to see if it would be ok if I were to take up this sport.

Thanks for the help.

Bill,

I will ask some of the guys I work with if they can recommend a physician.

Well, I'm not from LV, but I have family there, one of which is a retired instructor. I could proably get a doctor refferal but I'd more likely call DAN than her. Can you elaborate a little? Unless it's somthing major, your question could probably be answered here by one of our members or medical mods and if it's a concern your profile doesn't give much of anything away about your personal identity.

Ok let me shine a little more info on my old problems. From when I was a few months old I always had earaches almost every month up until I was 7 or 8 years old. Then when I was 11 I had my tansels and adenoids removed and about a year or two after I started getting dizzy for hours or maybe a full day on the good side I have been dizzy free for almost 5years :dazzler1: . When I was around 13 a doctor referred me to a doctor in the Loma Linda Medical Center for my problems. I had every test in the book ran on me from cat scan to MRI and a lot of other wild test that triggered my dizzy ness to test it or something. When I was around 14 or 15 I lost total hearing in my right ear but my left ear has around 80% and I also have holes in my eardrums so if I was going to dive I would have to ware the Proear 2000. I don’t have any problems clearing my ears when I drive up to high elevations or flying I know diving is a little different but for what I think I should have no problem diving.
