I can hold my breath for about 1:50-2:00 minutes.. is this bad for my body, or do my lungs expand in any way when I’m doing it?

I dont know whether or not its bad for you but I do know you can give yourself a panic attack… but I’m sure if you hold your breath for too long you can die.

I have always heard that it was bad, but on japanese television where they do crazy stuff like that I heard “it expands your lungs”
and you cant die from holding your breath, your organs will kick in too fast, but you can have a panic attack or hurt a lung. (thats like 3 minutes though.)

You generally have 5 minutes before brain damage occurs, so less than that holding your breath may train your body to process oxygen more efficiently.
