Squeeze?!

[Divenick]

Hy everybody!
I am looking for some advice and knowledge concerning the "squeeze"...
I am actually doing dives between 30 and 40 meters. I manage to do those dives relaxed and calm, and even if I hit the sand on 40 meters with my head (happended today) I manage to finish the dive without major problems.
But: I´ve had minor squeeze symptoms at least three times in the past three weeks. I just do not understand why. Relaxation is not the point anymore, not for depths around 40 meters (I can do more...). I do Frenzel and use the mouthfill technique (mouthfill around 20m and then freefall) and I do not equalize my mask below 30 meters anymore as I do not try to do valsalva or any mouthfill recovery if I loose the mouthfill, in this case I just keep on going until I feel pressure in my ears and turn... But still I managed to end up with some symptoms after some sessions.
These symptoms include:
- Pressure in the Chest even after some minutes after deep dive
- eventuelly tiny (really tiny) bits of blood if I try hard to get "something" out of my lungs (e.g. coughing)
- higher resting pulse even some hours after the dive

I do NOT have symptoms like
- spitting blood
- coughing or difficulties breathing
- extreme weakness
- lowered oxygene level (measured with pulse oxymeter)

It´s really strange. the last time I had a little bit of blood I managed to "squeeze" out of my lungs I didn´t feel anything. I felt like I could and wanna dive some more, didn´t feeel bad, even after the session (that I enden immediately of course)

So I am not really sure wheter these really are squeeze symptoms or what goes wrong on my dives... Today after two dives to 40 meters I had the tiniest little bit of blood I ever saw but went running in the afternoon with a really low normal pulse and right now I do not feel anything but a slightly higher pressure in the chest when I really do a deep, deep breath but I do not have to cough at all...

Any ideas? Any help? Any similar experiences?

i had 2 episodes of squeeze after losing my mouthfill: the first one was very mild and the second much harder
nothing to do with a huge squeeze anyway

from what you tell i would think you are beginning your diving season, so you have to regain you actual depths, but this is an info you omitted in your post
i usually feel strange when i dive past 30 in the first 2-3 sessions of the season, just like as squeezing, but it's not

Hi,
I am not atarting my new season right now- actually I am based in Dahab and training more or less frequently since about 6 weeks... So there´s no old depths to regain, but new depths to go to. but at the moment I stick to the 40 meters as I want to find out what the squueze-thing is about before I go deeper...Yea, feeling strange sounds quite like what I felt after the last sessions. If I only do one deep dive it´s a "strange" feeling, but nothing disturbing or painful. I even do running in the evening after that. but if I do multiple dives to 35+ or deep dives followed by FRCs below 20 Meters, I have the sensations described in the first post. It´s either I do something terribly wrong oder a medical thing I don´t understand yet...But thanks a lot anyway for that quick reply!!!
