why is it when someone is holding their breath..or suffocating..or being suffocated..mostly holding their breath..they feel the need to move their body (arms-legs) around?
you know? like as if jumpin around and moving like an idiot will make them be able to hold their breath longer...
serious question..i was just thinking about it..

I think it is probably involuntary movements. It is a mechanism in our brains that takes over out of fear. There would be the fear of death and we would be trying to get away. I don't think it has anything to do with looking like an idiot. It is simply nature taking over trying to save us from death.

when holding your breath.. or being suffocated.. your survival instincts kick in... and you "struggle" to get "free" and breath...

Breathing is overrated.
