A member asked:

How long does it take for your blood gas to return to normal from huffing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minutes: I trust by huffing you mean breathing vigorously due to exercise. In a healthy person the blood gases return to normal in a matter of minutes, usually no more than 10 minutes or so.
