OLD THREAD but still intresting.

I would like to WARN YOU ALL about something and also ask for comments.

During a course a freediver had to be rushed to HOSPITAL due to a packing injury.

This was a VERY experienced and fit freediver. The freediver have not been packing for a long time. During a spirometer test the freediver with packing added nearly 1.5 litres to TLC. This the freediver had done before, but long ago.
30 seconds later the following occured. The freediver did not feel his arm, speached slurred and vision got unsharp. The freediver was aware of the symptoms and described them. These are symptoms of STROKE - something that KILLS people.
At hospital a head scan and lung Xray was done. Nothing was seen. 15 hours later the freediver left hospital. The doctors believe that an air bubble got into the bloodstream.
