Failed tourniquet method

[home]

It's been about a few days since I first made a real attempt with the tourniquet method. I had tested it out several times before and could fairly reliably make myself dizzy. I always stopped whenever I started to feel dizzy since this method is supposed to knock you out pretty quick. But when I actually tried to cbt, it didnt work. I'd get dizzy for a few seconds but then the dizziness would go away and I'd just feel pressure. I tried cranking it tighter, but I still wouldn't pass out and instead it only got almost impossible to breathe and made my throat hurt. I've lost count of how many times I tried in the past few days. Ive tried changing the rope, the position I was in, padding or no padding, above or below the adam's apple. None of it has worked. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I used paracord, a large metal spoon, and a small towel for comfort.
