It may be a factor but I've had the fatigue problem after 100 fsw warm water
dives 
at 80 degrees (F). I've had a 3 hour drive home after a few of these dives and
had 
to pull the car off the road and take a nap before I could go on.

I've had surgery with general anasthetic numerous times and the groggy feeling 
after diving near 100 fsw is similar to waking up after surgery.

It goes away much faster after diving. After general anesthesia it can take
several 
days to shake it.
