Abstract
This study investigates the health and self-reported symptoms of divers with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). With the increasing popularity of scuba diving and the aging population of divers, understanding the relationship between CVD and diving-related injuries is crucial. The research includes a survey of divers to assess symptoms experienced during or after diving, the impact of cardiovascular medications, and divers' awareness of associated risks. Findings reveal that divers with CVD face significant challenges, including breathlessness, fatigue, and dizziness, potentially exacerbated by the underwater environment. Despite the risks, many divers are not adequately informed about the interaction between their medications and diving. This highlights the need for comprehensive education and regular health assessments to ensure diving safety and health management for individuals with CVD.
