Hi all! I was wondering whether somebody has some suggestions for my problem.
I did a 55 minute dive at a max.depth of 37 ft. this past weekend in S. Calif. I had 3 beers the night before and had some nasal congestion for the previous few days. Prior to my dive, I had some congestion as well. I don't recall having to equalize much during the dive, if at all. Following the dive I started to develop a bad headache which seemed to be concentrated above my left eye. I had difficulty sleeping that night and the headache has now persisted for 3 days.
The headache now seems to be centered more towards the back of my head now. It feels the same as if you were to hold your nose while trying to blow hard. I am 37 and in excellent health but I am concerned about this problem. Hope this recedes soon! Tylenol, Dristan, and Aleve haven't helped.
Thanks.
