    dysbarism

    A general term that includes a complex variety of symptoms within the body caused by changes in ambient barometric pressure, but not including hypoxia. Characteristic symptoms are bends and abdominal gas pains at altitudes above 7,500-9,000 m. Also at increased barometric pressure, as in descent from a high altitude, the symptoms are characterized by painful distention of the ear drums and sinuses.
