Depressurization sickness occurs when a person is exposed to a sudden decrease in air pressure. This causes a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the body, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, nausea, and fatigue. If left untreated, depressurization sickness can become more severe and lead to unconsciousness or even death.
