A member asked:
Doctors, do you think i can develop cortical blindness from holding my breath for too long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You would faint doing this prior to any damage to your brain. Why would you try this anyway unless you have a fetish involvement in breath control which is in fact a dangerous activity.?
