I am experiencing a sensation in my head similar to rapidly waving my hand back and forth with closed eyes. These attacks last 6 to 8 hours, are very real and devastating, and have been occurring 1-3 times a week for about a year. I have had normal results from an EEG and CAT scan, but the attacks persist. Can you help me find a way to stop these attacks?

I am a 45-year-old male in excellent health. As a teenager, I experienced several mild asthmatic episodes easily treated with an albuterol inhaler. I have not experienced an asthmatic episode in over 30 years. My family has recently learned to scuba dive, but the instructor rejected me based on my asthma history. Is this reasonable? I can find no hard data or facts contraindicating asthma sufferers from diving. Do you know of any?
