| Undulations
For me this is quite a normal state of affairs-I have put it down to being on a boat. It generally settles down the following day after diving. If it has not settled down two days after diving, go and see your GP as the chances are you have an ear infection. Best treated promptly with some antibiotics.
As a precaution always wash your ears out with fresh water after diving. If you become prone to ear infections the Swim Ear will dry your ears out, or Ear Calm OTC at the chemist
Dizzy and a sore head. Sounds like carbon dioxide poisoning.
Too Much Carbon Dioxide
The first symptoms of too much carbon dioxide is an increased rate of respiration, then respiratory discomfort, and very high levels will cause dizziness, stupor and unconsciousness. This occurs when the diver changes from his normal regular breathing pattern (carbon dioxide gets flushed from the lungs when breathing in oxygen) to one of shallow, inefficient breathing (perhaps from stress and anxiety) or skip breathing (to make his air last longer)... or sometimes poor breathing equipment. This condition can be very dangerous as the diver could lose consciousness and drown. In which case breath more deeply to expel the CO2 from your body.  |
