Holding Your Breath

[CrazyLemurs]

Ok this has only come up because I am looking for something to do to postpone going to bed xD
But you hear stories of these wonderful divers and singers that break world records for holding their breath (I think 22:50 is the longest atm) and it's just a bit crazy. A quick Google told me the average is 1:00 to 1:15, but those with a healthier lifestyle or training can often reach higher. Depending on how bothered I am, and whether I can relax much, I can do up to 1:30ish. But how long can you lot hold your breaths? Also, please can we not have proper bobba answers like "3 years" or even worse, boasting from the bobbamakers themselves ;)

[zombies]

i hate doing it. i have a fear of drowning.

[Kyle]

around 3 minutes if completely relaxed

[CrazyLemurs]

If done for too long, you can actually go unconscious without any warning, but usually people notice they're gasping for air and give up and breathe LOL Samanfa;

45 seconds or so, but I used to smoke heavy im sure that can change the number

[AlexJRiley]

A minute before I start getting a weird pressure in my nose that feels like im gonna have a nose bleed (but not like a nose bleed if that makes sense)

[Shar]

Can't hold my breath for long at all. 20 seconds atm

[Cerys]

38 seconds.

Then I felt like I was choking/needed to throw up, if you get me.

The best way to do it is to relax so you use less oxygen.
Derren Brown did it - so rather than counting in your head, try thinking of someplace calm.

[Catchy]

50 seconds but it really hurt omg

[Hollie]

around 55 seconds before it really starts to hurt but I can carry on until 60

[Cerys]

ok yey
I redid it. Last time with 37 secs or something, i was walking around.
This time I sat still with my head down and eyes closed like I was sleeping.

Seems to work ;3 1 min and 5 seconds is my new 'record' yey

Usually around 1:30 give or take 20 seconds.. It helps to breath in and out deeply before you try idk why but it makes such a difference.

I did this thing once where I would hold my breath for as long as possible each day, and managed to get it up to 2 mins ish.. not anymore though. :(

[Lewis]

Yep, relaxment is the key to holding your breath. If you're stressed, panicking/nervous or even move a littlest it can use up oxygen which means the less time you'll hold your breath.

I can do 2 minutes, not much compared to some people i've seen

[lemons]

like 30 secs lol i get scared i will suddenly die

[Tom]

Usually about 1:45 - 2 minutes (with just being a little relaxed). If I'm lying down and relaxing I can do 3:30-4 minutes (pushing it).

[Empired]

erm
I panic about not being able to breathe so literally like 10 seconds lol :'(

[Aiden]

like 20 to 25 secs ...
