Part of your issues may be due to dehydration, drink lots of fluids, preferably water, and as for the nose issue, there are a couple of possibilities, it could be seawater irritation from getting some saltwater into the sinus cavities, or it could be irritation from having to blow hard to equalize. Stay out of the water for a couple of weeks, and rehydrate yourself. If it still hurts in 2-3 days, call DAN
I am no expert, or medical person. If you feel that bad, first, I suggest you go see your doctor. If you are under 18, talk to your parents. If it was me, I would take a decongestant like
Benadryl, and hydrate with some water. I assume your instructor and you filled out your dive logs, and you've calculated your pressure groups right? You are still within the limits. Needless to say, you can feel tired, and dried up after a dive because the air in the tank is dry, so the congestion is not an unusual thing either. Some people with issues take a decongestant prior to diving.. disclaimer: see your professional, I am not a medical professional. I would not be personally worried about what you describe though.
Go see a doctor and get checked out, better safe than sorry,it sounds like you were just in the tables (Dciem) be carfull in the future good luck and have safe fun!
It is probably nothing serious, but to make sure visit the doctor!
Shouldnt have done 3 dives though....and hydrate yourself better!
Anyways, congrats!!
