It is also called caisson sickness, diver's disease, or decompression sickness. It occurs when the pressure suddenly returns to normal from high pressure. Nitrogen in the air that dissolves in the body turns into bubbles, which can cause blood vessel embolism and bubbles to form in various tissues, resulting in muscle and joint pain in the limbs, itchy skin, dizziness, nausea, sensory and motor disorders, and other neurological symptoms.
