Hi There
I understand your concern .
I would like to tell you that your friend had an air embolism in his heart & is commonly found after scuba diving followed by some symptoms like Difficult breathing, chest pain, muscle or joint pains, low blood pressure etc.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy( Decompression Chamber ) is the best treatment that can be given to treat Air Embolism.
Hope this has answered your query.
Kind Regards
