Duh guys, didn't you know you can't die from holding your breath? Once you pass out from lack of oxygen you'll just start breathing again! Haha, I remember always saying that to friends when they wanted to do that and someone would freak out and say that someone might die.No one will die, but someone might suffer some brain damage.
8/16/2009 10:11:18 PM
^actually some ppl do die. but i'm not like other ppl
8/16/2009 10:13:52 PM
I'm just saying that's something we were always say to each other back in the day.
8/16/2009 10:14:36 PM
I don't think there's any risk of further brain damage here.

i warm up for about 3 minutes before i go. take super deep controlled breathingand i dont start counting until about 5 seconds after i take my intial inhale and push more in through closing the lips and gulping it downmaybe i'm just imagining things, but i literally can feel my heart slowing down. you begin to feel the beat in your chest(cause its so full of air)

Actually I heard that if you hyperventilate first then it's easier to hold your breath longer. You have less CO2 in you so you're not wanting to gasp for air.I saw this on discovery channel I think when I was watching something about someone who did super deep dives with no air tank.

make sure you don't cheathold your breath under water with a few cinder blocks over your head
8/16/2009 10:23:46 PM

HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN POSTED YET?

Be careful hyperventilating and holding your breath, especially in water. Its possible to pass out and drown. Hyperventilating removes most of the CO2 from your blood. The CO2 in your blood is what gives you the urge to breath again. This is why its easier to hold your breath after hyperventilating.

i might give it one more go tonight. dont do it a lot
8/16/2009 11:49:14 PM
did it for four minutes once. i remember feeling tired, but no real need to inhale. called it quits because i didn't want to die

8/17/2009 12:38:30 AM
you have to work up to it. your body calms itself down and uses progressively less oxygen i guess. it felt like i was doing that thing Batman can do where he pretty much dies but can revive himself because he's the fucking batman
