I would be very grateful if you could advise me how I could distinguish between the onset of a migraine and decompression sickness.
Three years ago I was half way through a diving course, when my GP failed my medical due to my history of migraine with visual disturbance. Caused either by eating dairy products or stress during exams.
My migraines have since become less severe and far less frequent and being otherwise Fit and healthy and I have not consulted with a GP since. I am desperate to be able to learn to dive before a holiday in Australia. I have heard of other divers that suffer from migraines with no ill effects provided that they are sensible, but for my own peace of mind would be grateful if you could advise on whether there are any distinguishing features that you might experience with decompression sickness that are not usually the case with a migraine.
