I never had a drop attack, thankfully. I'm sorry that you su
What other symptoms do u have?....I had drop attacks and I never knew when I might have one, I would hate to be under water and suffer one...that would be scary....
I read u r looking for another specialist...what area r u looking in, have u looked at the list of Drs we have to help u in ur search?
I have not had surgery, my symptoms vary. I have headaches almost everyday but they are not that bad. I can swim underwater fine, I feel pressure at greater depths just like anyone else, I believe...though I have never gone very very deep. I guess I can test it out this summer in a pool. I don't have a syrinx, either.
Hi, it really depends on how u r being affected now by ur chiari, but many of us have issues with pressure HA's and diving goes down to where u will have pressure added...not sure I would want that.
I stopped swimming under water altogether as it was too much pressure for me and that was b4 I was dx'd....
Did u have surgery?...what r ur symptoms like?
I am currently seeking a new specialist. Sigh...I guess I'm screwed for this...
