Subject: re: headaches after diving
Cobb is rigght on the sinus thing - the barotrauma which you can not
feel at the time comes back as a headache. If it goes away with
something like Dristan, that is what it is. 

  If it is ommitted deco , it will not go away for a while, and it is
hard to figure the right deco for an air dive , even to 80 feet, but
stopping momentarily as Cobb suggests is a major advantage.

  If it is a shunt causing it, look out - the bad hit is coming on a
deeeper dive, and if it is in fact a breathing problem , don't let the
guy use nitrox until he corrects it - that is asking for a tox.

  First guess is still the damage from the uneven pressures, like Cobb
said - give it the Dristan test ( after the dive, not before).
