Hi I did the Free diver and Advanced Free diver course in 4 days on 14 august was the last day and we did the deep dives at 40m and also got a loss of motor control in the warm up.
That day i was 100% even after the long dive session. The next morning I felt the first time lightheaded, vertigo and confusion cause i feel that i cant think clearly or focus sometimes so I stayed home and relax for 3 days. The vertigo was gone but that lightheadedness/ confusion stayed on me.
After a week of lightheaded I went to a normal doctor to check my ears and he said that everything is fine and i was still feeling lightheaded. 3 weeks later I was still the same and went to ENT specialist. He checked my ears and balancing and he said that everything is okay and you're good to dive so I kept free diving for like 2 hours sessions. The day after a free diving session sometimes I be worst then the previous day.
Also one day I went to free dive and the sea was rough and I just did 3 dives of 20m in 30mins and got seasick and I went back home and the day after I was horrible with lightheadedness (I also get seasickness but i take seasickness pills)
A week ago I stopped free diving completely to maybe get better, but the recovery from this lightheaded is so slow even when i don't Free dive. Today 1st October I am still lightheaded in midday at work mostly. I am waiting for blood-test result to begin from scratch again to check what I have.
I searched so many on the internet for my type of situation and none of it hit what I have directly.
The research that I made I think that It can be a lot of things related to lightheaded like hypoxia or something with the brain function or heart.
I am posting this post because when I learned that I can dive deeper and longer I was so mad to keep doing it and training free diving as my hobby but I cant do that!
I will appreciate so much if someone had like what I have and tell me some tips what I can do please
Thanks!
