Breath! Breath! You're Turning Blue!!
 
How long can you hold your breath without breathing through the nostrils or mouths (or any of way to gain air)?

I can do it for a minute or two before one of my friend does something stupid and makes me gag. XD

Jesus oƒ Suburbia January 19th, 2010 7:42 AM

I've actually timed myself on this one;
1 minute and 46 seconds.

My face turns red after a minute...

If one of my friends, try something of the sort, I just make them laugh.. :D

Ayselipera January 19th, 2010 10:42 AM

I've never made it to a minute. I'm pretty sure the longest amount I ever held my breath was 55 seconds.

gummybarz January 19th, 2010 12:13 PM

The last time I had a breath holding contest with my friend I lasted for 1 min 34 seconds.

Nick January 19th, 2010 3:53 PM

Every time I ever try, I eventually forget what I'm doing and breathe so... trying to hold my breath and see how long I can do so always ends up in failure.

With that said, I don't think I've ever lasted even thirty seconds.

Esper January 19th, 2010 5:45 PM

I don't know, but it was too long and not by choice. I'm not about to test myself anytime soon so I'll probably never know and I'm okay with that.

A Pixy January 19th, 2010 5:49 PM

I have to force myself just to go for 60 seconds.

I don't plan on going any further. xD

Captain Hobo. January 19th, 2010 5:58 PM

I can hold my breath for like 1 minute and 20 seconds.

Eliminator Jr. January 19th, 2010 6:28 PM

I don't know, I've never counted past a minute without getting bored, but I can swim a fair way underwater without coming up to breathe, and I'm probably under for over a minute so I'm not really sure.

Hiidoran January 19th, 2010 6:39 PM

Funny, I had to try this for Statistics just the other day.

Turns out I can hold my breath for a little over a minute, which is actually longer than I thought my poor, unhealthy lungs would hold out. D: With water pressure, I'm sure it would be much less.

Caelus January 19th, 2010 8:46 PM

About a minute, but I recall being able to hold it even longer when I was younger.

Dukey January 19th, 2010 8:56 PM

Never tried it with like.. air xD
But a minute underwater.

Cheesymitten January 20th, 2010 2:43 PM

*gasp* *pant pant pant*
1:02
T.T
That's crap isn't it?
Maybe I should try again later?

Rokusasu January 20th, 2010 3:16 PM

... Thirty seconds... ;-;

What? I have small lungs! Dx

Honest January 20th, 2010 3:42 PM

I tried three times.

First: 18 seconds - I had to cough. >_>

Second: 36 seconds - Noobish

Third: 1 minute and 9 seconds. Yay! I wanted at least a minute. :P

The funny thing is that I also have asthma, or at least, had asthma symptoms when I was younger. xD

Ru January 20th, 2010 7:05 PM

-not going to try right now 'cause she sick, buuut-

I don't think I could last over a minute. XD; Maybe if I try hard enough, considering that there are times I can last a little while with an Instrument. -shrugs- I'll have to see later.

Jesh January 20th, 2010 7:37 PM

Forty-eight seconds. :D

/me totally just did it :3

.Bullet January 20th, 2010 7:56 PM

Trying this sitting down isn't the best of ideas, and I lasted less than 30 seconds. My stopped up nose isn't helping in the slightest either.

Taemin January 20th, 2010 8:51 PM

If I sit down, and stay calm I can last almost two minutes.. I haven't tested it in awhile, though. xD

Also, ironic..
When I clicked this thread, the my playlist started playing a song called 'Breathe'. o_O

Unforgettable January 20th, 2010 9:23 PM

Well, I've never timed myself, but I'm used to playing a wind instrument so I can hold my air for quite a long time.

Yu_&_Rei January 20th, 2010 9:27 PM

considering I have asthma I cant for long, the most I can go is for a minute

mikey January 22nd, 2010 11:11 AM

I never timed myself, but I can tell you not that long xD

The Darkest Gale January 22nd, 2010 11:15 AM

I can't hold my breath for a minute unless I'm underwater
about 30 seconds

iLaxbe! January 22nd, 2010 12:36 PM

Over a minute, easily. My record was something about 2 minutes with my head underwater. It's just to relax in the pool.

♣Gawain♣ January 22nd, 2010 8:45 PM

2 minutes and a few seconds underwater. I can't hold my breath above 30 seconds when I pinch my nose though above water.

s0nido January 22nd, 2010 9:44 PM

I just timed myself now and managed a measly 28 seconds. I can do longer under the water, since I can't force myself to breathe anything but air.

Ho-Oh January 24th, 2010 6:25 AM

Just tried and got... 17 seconds because I was afraid I was going to die. XDD;;

LadyJirachu January 24th, 2010 6:30 AM

Breathing is like crying.

The more you do it, the weaker you become. Since we all need to breath to stay alive, however, I sugest holding your breath for a few seconds, every soo often, everyday.

PS; None of what I say need's to be followed, espesally if your already waaay stronger than I. Why did I diside to post again anyways...and why does this feel funny yet hurt a whole lot at the same time?...

Alexithymia~ January 24th, 2010 7:11 AM

I can hold my breath for about a minute.. and over.

I take singing lessons and that's basically lengthened my lung capacity considerably. :3

LadyJirachu January 24th, 2010 7:33 AM

I can hold my breath for a whole hour if I wanted to, I bet.

I just prefer not to. One day, though, one day...i'll set a record. And i'll live through it. I RULE!

Guillermo January 24th, 2010 9:00 AM

Whilst not underwater, I managed to get 1 minute 10 seconds.

However, seeing as I don't have a pool and I'm not going to the beach because I'm not really keen on putting my head under saltwater, I won't test that. I'd probably get about 10 seconds, though..
