Hi Guys,
I just had a bad experience, and I'd like some advice.
I was just practicing dry apnea in my livingroom (it has been a slow night). I started by breathing up for 2 minutes, holding for 20 contractions (twice), breathing up for 3 minutes, holding for 20 contractions, breathing up for 5 minutes, and holding for as long as possible. <----- I got this from an Erik Y post
That part went fine, I got to 4 minutes, which is good for me.
Then I did one extra hold, but followed the Eric Fattah routine of fast diaphragm breathing for 4 minutes, and then packed my lungs.
I was doing well and feeling good right through 4 minutes when the contractions started. The rest is my wife's account, and I will try to get it exact:
"Around 5 minutes, you made a farting noise with your lips, relaxed for 10 seconds, and then flopped around like a [deleted expletive] fish for about 10 seconds, relaxed, and flopped around again, and then relaxed for 10 seconds again. Then you jumped up in your chair, sucked in air, and hit the stopwatch. Why are you so [same expletive] stupid?"
The stopwatch said 5:40, which is way beyond what I can do. I felt perfectly fine, though, after two or three breaths, until I discovered that I wet my pants -- and the chair.
My question is this: What happened? I didn't think blackouts could happen so easily without a pressure change as occurs with SWB. Has anyone had a similar experience? I doubt I pushed myself any harder than other people on this forum do.
Frightening thing is this: I felt fine right up to the blackout, and there was no warning at all.
