>The problem,dumb ass, is that when the brain senses it's being starved for oxygen,it fires off signals to the vagus nerve,which signals the heart to beat faster to try to increase blood pressure to overcome the blockage of the arteries. The heart could go int atrial defibrulation-i.e. beating so fast,that it's not working properly-basically a heart attack. Or if the person had high cholesterol, and some partially blocked arteries, when hold was released,and the arteries in the brain hit with a "tidal wave" 0f blood that was held back by the hold the weak artery could burst,effectively causing a stroke. If you want to risk death or paralysis for a cheap thrill of passing out for a minute then go ahead,but stop making fun of people who have studied the issues and are recommending safety.
