Answer:

staggers

Explanation:

Decompression sickness (DCS), also known as "bends" or caisson disease, refers to health problems arising, for example, from underwater diving decompression during ascent. This condition (DCS) occurs when dissolved gases (mainly nitrogen) coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurization, which may affect different parts of the body such as the joints, heart, lungs, skin, brain, etc. DCS is divided into two major classes: 1-Type I DCS that exhibits mild symptoms (e.g., joint or musculoskeletal pain, headache, fatigue, itchy skin), and 2-Type II DCS, where serious health symptoms, including neurological manifestations, may be observed. Sometimes, individuals suffering DCS may exhibit symptoms of inner ear problems (e.g. deafness, spinning sensation, vomiting, etc), which are collectively known as staggers.
