The idea is to wait till your pulse and other body parameters get normal.1/2 hour to 45 minutes are adequate.

Humans typically breathe between 12 and 20 times per minute, with children breathing faster than adults. Babies may breathe as much as 40 times per minute. Adults normally breathe about 500-700ml of air at a time. An average 14 year old takes around 30,000 breaths per day.

the easiest way is to hold your breath as long as you can and tense yourself all up.  or run.  or drink alcohol.

try drinking water upside down.  You can also hold your breath and chug water at the same time.

At least 24 hours.  The longer you ca hold off the better, but at least 24.

Well, technically they can but usually only for about 6-8 minutes after death.  See, we define people as being dead when their heart stops beating, but for a few minutes if we can get their heart started again they'll be fine.  After about 8 minutes brain damage starts to occur, and I think somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes it becomes hopeless.  Those times will be a bit longer if the person is really cold though.

I breathe in for 8 seconds, hold for 8, breathe out for 8.  I do this 2 times and then go down to 6 seconds for 2 times... I continue this until I get to 2 seconds.  It helps get your diaphragm back in whack.  :)

To a person, the obvious answer to this question wud be "as long as he can hold his breath". But to MY brain, another thing that strikes is how deep he is burried as even the weight of the earth above his can crush him to pulp. X-(

Glycated Hb estimation,B.P.chek,and Exercise tolerance(treadmill)tests.If you are between 40 and 60 test your "BREATH HOLDING CAPACITY".After taking a deep breath Hold your BREATH,and observe the time (in seconds) you can hold your breath. 60/Age in minutes is normal.If you are 40 , 60/40 minutes ie 90 seconds is normal.This simple test indirectly speaks about your stamina and correlates well with treadmill test.Not useful in smokers /otherwise sick/pregnant women.

Suck in as much air as you possibly can - so much that it prevents the hiccup spasm occuring - and hold it as long as you can.  Simple, effective.

1-4 hours.\n\nYou have to allow yourself at least 30 minutes if you want to be able to get it up again :P \n\nAny longer than 4 hours and the affect may wear off.  Any shorter than an hour and you may risk 'not performing'.

No....your breathing rate doesn't jump that fast...and if you've been running for a while, you'll be exhaling as fast as you inhale....

it depends on the situation and your physical condition at the certain time but on normal condition and circumstance, i'd say 2 - 3 minutes :-)

Breath in very slowly\nTake as much air as your lungs will hold.\nHold this air for as long as you can.\nRelease the air slowly.\n\nYou will find that you will calm down with the breathing exercise.  While simple, it really does work.\n\nHave a lovely rest of the day.
