could you suffocate from laughing?

Question

Sometimes you laugh so much that you can't breathe. could you suffocate??

Answer 1

It's impossible to suffocate from any action that requires consciousness (i.e. "I'll hold my breath until I die).

You could conceivably (if you had an extremely strong will) hold your breath (or laugh) until you pass out. Once you're unconscious you'll start breathing again. You lose consciousness long before any permanent damage to any organ so it can't be done.

Answer 2

no i dont think u can suffocate from laughing. never heard of that one. good question though, : )
