I'm posting this in the Basic Discussion group since I would like to get everyone's opinion.
I've searched all of the threads on SS and I haven't read anything about preventing sinus squeeze. My last dive was in October 2002. During my last three dives of the day, I fell victim to severe sinus squeeze. Even though I didn't feel anything during my first dive of the day. Now onto present day. When I was at the pool last weekend, I again suffered from sinus squeeze. I was eventually able to clear it after sitting for 10 minutes at a whopping depth of 5 feet. In October and last week, I felt fine and didn't have a cold.
I would like to know what I can do to try to prevent sinus squeeze in the future. My mom is a doctor so I can get access to prescription (decongestants, allergy, etc) drugs if needed. I'm heading to Maui and Tahiti in May and I really don't want to cancel any dives due to sinus squeeze. Thanks for your opinions.
