Now THIS is interesting. At least as a medical professional.

Assuming it is the same person - he swam laps and developed BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). This happens to swimmers but it's not that common, meaning not every swimmer is going to experience it. The easiest way to prevent it is by having the swimmer finish their laps with a backstroke or any other swimming motion that keeps their head in a fixed position.

As a doctor, I want to know if it was his first time experiencing BPPV or vertigo of any kind. What was his follow-up like? Did doctors explore his neurological health and look for any underlying conditions?

A bout of vertigo + drowning + no oxygen for a bit = should have had an extensive neurological workup with testing. Of course, an ER can only make recommendations and it's on the patient to book those follow up appointments.   [/quote]
