A member asked:
Are my lungs really weak? i can't seem to hold my breath for very long.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Practice: Believe it or not- breath hold capacity is something that can be increased over time through practice. That may not be the case if you have a pulmonary disease. I used to be a military diver - and i worked up my capacity over a number of months.
