Hi everyone.
I am fairly new to the underwater world...
I was at the bottom of a 5m pool, had equalized ears fine, but began to feel a pain in my forehead, then a little flick sensation internally in the same spot, then I came up and blew out a wad of blood from my nose. I self diagnosed frontal sinus barotrauma. I had been feeling well, no cold or congestion. My question is:
Would you go to that depth again same day? If not, when would you?
I plan to bring a decongestant spray to next session in case it happens again, but I had been there many times before and was fine.
Thanks in advance!
