I've been scuba diving for years, and now I'm getting headaches. Is this normal?

It is possible that you are experiencing a mild form of decompression sickness (DCS). DCS can occur when the body does not have enough time to adjust to the increased pressure caused by ascending too quickly from deep underwater depths. Symptoms may include headache, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. If you experience any of these symptoms while diving, it is important to stop immediately and ascend slowly. You should also consult with your dive doctor if you continue to experience symptoms after returning to the surface.
