How Can Decompression Sickness Be Controlled?
I am still feeling like i am on a cruise ship even after getting off of it 5 days ago. I also went on a two tank dive one of the dives was 95 feet.. Is this a mild case of decompression sickness. I do not suffer motion sickness at all. It started after my dive after i got off cruise ship too.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Best treatment for decompression sickness is ascend.
Since you already ascend and still have symptoms, hyperbaric oxygen is the only treatment option.
So consult pulmonologist and start sessions for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Sessions usually lasts for 1 hour daily for 2-3 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
