>>20078626Lower O2 sats can decrease metabolism, while increasing cellular decay. It's not good for any part of your body involved in oxygen delivery. Which is every part of your body.
>>20078609Breathing is mostly autonomic. You haven't "trained' yourself enough to limit the response to breathe. Which is driven by C02 buildup in cells.
>>20078625That's literally just a pulse ox. It's saying your blood sats are lower than 90%/92% or whatever they have it set at. It's not picking up well because you've immediately reduced your blood supply to your extremities (finger tips). Low Blood pressure until hormones get to work and increase BP.
>>20078698CO2 is also regulated by metabolism to create a stable pH environment. Not just by the lungs. COPD patients for example will have a high bicarb to offset the higher CO2.
>>20078642Lack of 02 kills cells. Respiratory drive is mainly CO2 buildup.
>>20078753Yes it's probably retarded to do so.
