Ok folks. I know that when I hold my breath my pulse is supposed to drop as my diving reflex kicks in. My resting heart rate is 53bpm. When I hold my breath for any length of time and over multiple repeated attempts my pulse rises to 67-70 bpm. I amcompletely relaxed while doing this. Can anyone help me understand why my body is doing the opposite?
 
Are you immersing your face in cold water? That is what initiates the diving reflex, or at least so I'm told.
