How to Diagnose Decompression Sickness
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. When decompression sickness is suspected (based on the presence of classic symptoms and a history of recent diving, for example), treatment is often started immediately, without any delay for examination or testing. Blood and other diagnostic tests are not usually helpful.
