Breath control is risky for anyone to practice. In healthy people with proper safety practices, some sources of risk can be diminished. <u>'''However, for people with certain health conditions, the risks of breath control cannot be meaningfully mitigated and should be avoided entirely.'''</u> | Breath control is risky for anyone to practice.

Many types of heart or lung disease can make any form of breath control unmanageably dangerous (especially severe disease). If airflow or blood flow is restricted in these individuals, a cascade of life-threatening physiologic derangements can be initiated that cannot be easily reversed, even after restoring normal flow. | Many types of heart or lung disease can make any form of breath control unmanageably dangerous (especially severe disease). If airflow or blood flow is restricted in these individuals, a cascade of life-threatening physiologic derangements can be initiated that cannot be easily reversed, even after restoring normal flow. Additionally, breath control should not be practiced by individuals with neurovascular conditions such as carotid stenosis, Moyamoya disease, cerebral aneurysms or vascular malformations due to greatly increased risk of stroke. | ||
