    Question How long can you hold your breath

    Hi.

    I some how managed to hold my breath for a whole 2mins 20seconds!! which i thought was pretty good,

    Just wondering if anyone else is sad enough/has enough time to hold their breath for as long as possible.

    Can anyone beat 2mins 20?

    as i said, headache
    its the annoying type where just tilting my head makes it hurt, doing anyhting makes my head hurt
    would have a paracetomal thingy but ive survived .. 18 years without em so im not going to start now
    going to try again now anyway.. if it hurts more after then ill know the cause, and regret it alot more


    hmmmm feel the same... was hard to beat though but i managed 6 more seconds this time
