can holding your breath for one minute be deadly?

No matter how long you hold your breath, it will not be deadly.  Why?  Because your body will not let you hold it to the point of death.  The body will rebel by making you pass out and then your breathing will automatically resume.\n\nBreathing is one of the body functions that is both voluntary and involuntary.  It is voluntary in that you can hold your breath, purposely breathe slower or purposely breathe faster.\n\nIt is involuntary because you don't have to make your body breathe...it will do it with or without your help.  Most times, you aren't aware of your breathing...it is just natural.  So, try to stop it and it will take control.

yes, you will pass out first before you die, and you can't hold your breath while passed out.

None, just go slower and stop for 5 second breather now and then. Trust me, he'll be pissed but "IT" wont come out as fast.

"the longest that humans can hold their breath for is about 2 1/2 minutes, and this is for pearl divers who make a living by holding their breath underwater. Most of us can only hold our breath for 1 minute."  (see Source)\n\nI think that there are extremes (world record holders) that are nowhere near the average.\n\nI read somewhere that there's a trick to holding your breath for a long time, and it is to eliminate the nitrogen from your body.  I forget how you do it (sorry), but the point was that it's the presence of nitrogen, not the absence of oxygen, that causes the FIRST problem for humans.

AS SOON as you start to have trouble breathing you have to sit down, calm down and wait for your breathing to return to normal.  After about 15 minutes to a half an hour you should be able to go for about an hour breathing okay until it starts to get bad again.  I wouldn't really recommend this approach though because you always need a back up plan in case this doesn't work.  Try to get an inhaler.

It depends on the cause of death.  If it is something to so with the lungs, then yes, but if it a stroke or a fall, then maybe not.\n\nThat is a bit of a weird question though...why are you wondering that?

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.  :)

Your heartrate will slow down as you keep holding your breath. Once you start breathing again, it will increase to above normal for a while and then settle back to normal.\n\n(Assuming you are not exerting additional force, such as swimming underwater)
