HBOT is a Safe and Effective Treatment For a Variety of Conditions

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a person breathes in pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. The purpose of this treatment is to increase the amount of oxygen in the body’s tissues, which can help to promote healing and fight infection.

The way you feel after hyperbaric oxygen treatment can vary depending on the reason for the treatment, how many sessions you’ve had, and your individual response to the therapy. However, some common experiences include:

Feeling relaxed: Many people find the experience of being inside the chamber calming and relaxing, especially if the chamber is equipped with music or a TV.

Fatigue: After a session of HBOT, you may feel tired or sleepy. This is because the therapy can be physically and mentally demanding.

Relief of symptoms: If you are receiving HBOT to treat a specific condition, you may experience some relief of symptoms after the treatment. For example, people with carbon monoxide poisoning may feel less headache, nausea, or dizziness after receiving HBOT.

Improved energy: Some people report feeling more energized after HBOT, possibly due to the increased oxygen in their bodies.

Discomfort: Some people may experience discomfort, such as ear popping or sinus pressure, during the treatment. These symptoms usually go away shortly after the treatment is finished.

It’s important to note that everyone responds differently to HBOT, and some people may not experience any noticeable changes after the treatment. If you have any concerns about how you feel after HBOT, be sure to speak with your healthcare provider.
