Are there any side effects with mild hyperbaric therapy?
No dangerous side effects have been reported with mild hyperbaric therapy. Some people experience a mild discomfort to the ears when pressurizing the chamber, not unlike during the ascending part of an airplane ride. This problem can usually be solved simply by slowing down the rate of pressurization and/or holding pressure until the sensation dissapates. Some people following their first few sessions experience slight fatigue as the body sweeps itself clear of toxic debris that has built up in the body. This is safe and necessary. Activities that help promote elimination such as aerobic exercise, saunas, etc. will be beneficial in speeding up this process.
