Re: Attack - Calming your nerves

As a 25 year firefighter with a majority of that having been a paramedic, I have had occasion to get adrenaline flooded. I have seen guys in good shape run out of air because of this. I used to, and anytime since when under stress, use passive refill breathing. That is to say, forcefully exhale and let the ambient air pressure refill your lungs. It takes a little practice but not much.

Even as I got older and fatter, I would outlast some of these young guys on bottled air.
