SN and Shortness of Breath

[job1315]

I have reason to believe I may be conscious during SN due to a medical issue.

How bad is shortness of breath and why do some members report feeling like they were suffocating?

Need a science member to answer here please!

Who reported feeling suffocated? That's something I wanted to avoid so this is not good to hear.

I had suffered from temporary methemglobinemia due to nitrite abuse (inhalant called poppers). It's very unpleasant, like being drunk, weak and feeling nauseous, motor coordination is impaired too. Lips and nails were blue. My heart was beating really fast.

It did not felt like I was suffocating but experienced the lack of oxygen in my system.

Lactic acid buildup would be my guess

Many accounts reported "gasping for air" , not sure if you can equate that to suffocation... but I'm still amazed how many doesn't use propranolol and claims it's a"luxury item " when it clearly speeds up the process of falling unconscious.

In your state, would you have had the ability to grab and drink another drink or were you too dizzy for that?
