Dr. Deco,
About a week ago I was on a rescue dive. We were on a tow sled (very little physical exertion) our max depth was 58' but varied through out the pattern between 44' and 58'. Upon post dive medical monitoring, I had a BP of like 142/90 and the EMT found that I had an irregular heart rhythm, when put on a 12-Lead EKG I had normal sinus tach with PVC approx. once every 4 to 5 mins. Could this be a result of the physiology to do with the dive or more directly to do with the exertion in general?
