EXACTLY!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯

Doesn't hurt that he's cute as a button!

So is it good or bad people immersing themselves into Ice Baths ?

This is why ppl survive drowning in the winter.

And in nursing school !

Ambulance!!! That’s scary

Exactly that's what an ambulance is for!!!

Doesn’t cold water spike blood pressure ?

​@thegreatestofthemall9942 So you didn't understand the video demo??!! Heart rate dropped!!!😮 You're welcome.

MAGNESIUM. Research it please.

Hehe true 😁, like every other video on KZfaq.

@@alienatedvibes Why are people so quick to assume the worst in people? He could have just been testing the water to see if it was cold enough/deep enough to activate the reflex for just his face. Shame on you and the original commenter for assuming the worst out of people. The internet runs by guilty until proven innocent. That’s a shame.

The body doesn’t do it, is a cause and effect

@@Al-ManhajAl-Bayyinyes Allah is one

​@@imnotallergicWhat exactly do you mean...? Cause and effect isn't this ethereal thing disconnected from reality. This is detailing a physiological response. What exactly do you think the mechanism of cause and effect here is, if it isn't the body?

Yes,you're 💯 right. It's also called psyco somatic ?

I feel anxiety about being in icy water, though. Lol

​@@tanyaredfieldThere is a way for people like you. You simply have to do it more frequently than normal. Eventually you will overcome the fear and relax.

In the winter time whenever I felt a panic attack coming on I would go outside and lay in the snow. It worked amazingly. Panic would subdue quickly.

⁠@@rexluminus9867 yes, psychosomatic

This made me laugh out loud 🤣

😂😂😂

Best comment 😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣

It's called a tip skill and it's so helpful isn't it x

So sorry, I will pray for you 🙏

NO WAY I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID THIS!! I literally have my ice bucket in the back of my car right now. I have a form of ptsd and panic disorder with agoraphobia (cant drive more than 45 mins away from home) this ice water has litterly been a lifesaver

​@bayareadrifter415 I know what your going through. But 45 mins from home is a bloody good effort 👏 some people can't leave there home at all. So be proud

So what’s this HELP WITH???? Blood pressure lowering?? Headache?!!!!

seriously it works so well. also doing a cold plunge somewhat regularly will help with some regulation in general (once every few days at the end of your shower, turn the water cold)

In my experience the more senses you engage with something that isn't the anxiety trigger, the more it tends to help, hence why lots of people recommend chewing ice. This further having a biological reflex to slow the heart down is all the more effective. One final thing I'll say is try to build a slight taste association with your calming down. My xanax tablets have a certain taste, and my body has now somewhat tied the taste to the calming.

Depending on when you may need, single use emergency instant ice packs may be worthwhile.

I was actually told to do this, run a cold bath, get in quickly and hold your breath under water for a moment. If you have ptsd or panic disorder this has a lot of potential to help slow your heart rate.

​@@jaredschroeder7555is it counterproductive to engage in some sensory stimulation during high anxiety episodes? I have noticed for example trying to concentrate on my breathing aggravates my anxiety, it makes me hyper aware and often doesn't help

Tell me more about this!! I have extreme panic attacks leaving the house and I have to go for a scan at the hospital in the city in 3 days!! I haven't left town in years!

@kassiep I'd be glad to help.I know exactly how you feel! First step is to get an ice chest. They have cloth sealable ones I usually get on amazon but you can use anything. Fill it with cold water and a shit ton of ice cubes. I mean a crazy amount of ice. You're probably going to have to go buy some bags of ice. Once it's been sitting for a while getting super cold, You dunk your whole head inside and hold it for as long as you can bear. You wanted to feel unbearably cold and keep holding it after that for a while longer. Your whole head needs to be dunked, your whole face and head. After you take your head out you will immediately feel relief from panic and anxiety. Sometimes the anxiety can come back in a few minutes so just repeat the process. It's almost like taking 1 mg of xanax to be honest. I have a small portable one also and I even bring it inside of the doctor's office with me lol

@@bayareadrifter415 that is so so much for that information. Much needed! I guess ima have to buy some things asap for this trip. I'm terrified about that urge to RUN when I'm in a car, that urge just to get out of there and run. It's overwhelming and I feel so so trapped to the point I'm about to loose control, it's horrible agrophobia and panic is :'(

Wow. How come we don't know about this. I have bad anxiety and panic attack prone. I hate meds. I've got to incorporate this.

@2intriguing1 Because unfortunately they don't want us to know about these natural remedies.They would rather make billions by prescribing meds that are (to say the least) no good. This method does work though I highly suggest trying it. It doesnt just work for anxiety too it works if you're stressed or anything. Kind of like a reset button

Great observation.

Heart rate increases when we inhale.

Ur hr increases when u inhale vecause ur diagphram pushes against ur heart and makes it smaller

Yea I peeped tht too

Heart rate decreases, holding breath

Then why does my hearth rate not slow down when I hold my breath in air

You are so welcome!

@@MedicalSecrets I’ve been thinking of trying cold plunges or showers to help change white fat into brown fat, since I’m very overweight. I’m only out 5 months since a quadruple heart bypass. This scares me. Am I being paranoid?

​@@musicnut1966 Yes, consistently taking ice-cold showers actually does help in weight loss (even though I'm a scrawny guy, I used to take them a lot myself). However, in _your_ specific case of having had heart surgeries, you should definitely first consult with your doctor before attempting any ice-cold showers on a regular basis.

Would that work for tachycardia before it goes into arrthymia? I am 81 and when I came down with a high fever; my heart began to race and went into an arrthymia .

He is excellent and quite adorable while teaching, too. I mean that in a sweet way, not a sexual creepy way.

Your heart is controlled by the vagus nerve so the rate can change quickly.

The mammalian reflex works on babies automatically.

I believe OP is saying they use a different mechanism for adults, which involves pushing like you have to poop Kids especially babies may not understand, so they get ice on their face instead :)

Bear down? Like going to the bathroom?

@@moongoddess1978 yep! feels exactly like using the bathroom

Huh!?🤔

I'm so sorry you have had that experience. I hope you feel more empowered to advocate for your health!

@@MedicalSecrets It has improved a lot already. I am in at hospital twice each year for gastric procedure where I have to be put under to be able get the thing down my throat. I got esophageal varices that needs to be watched and fixed if the blood veins get's too huge. It's a side effect of having a damaged liver (Cirrhosis from medication the GP put me on for 8 years). During the visits where I was under anesthesia I almost every time experienced being abused and I had nothing to say about the procedure. I felt very worried about each visit. I was refused medications, etc. Now that I talked to them about my bad/horrible experiences, things has improved. It's thanks to educating myself through internet + your channel. The way you explain things is easy to understand for a normal person. You are calm and tell the truth, which inspired me a lot. I should not feel bad the two days prior to each visit and hurt a lot afterwards cause they did not give me the attention they should have. Doctors (and staff) can be very aloof and detached from emotions. For them I think many are tired of doing the same thing every day. They become more machines than humans. It was a lot of nightmares and also waking up crying after I awoke from anesthesia. I went home feeling sad and confused. I live alone. My son gotten old and moved to another city. Thank you so much for your channel, education and advices. I wish I was able to donate to your channel, but I am retired and live on a minimal budget. But know I am eternal grateful for the advice you given in your videos. I wached a lot of them and subscribed after the first video I saw. I had no clue doctors could be reasoned with, but if you stick to truth and be direct about the issues one has, things can change. Best wishes from Norway. ❤

@MedicalSecrets I saw a pain specialist recently with whom I felt if I tried to advocate for myself she would have tried to 5150 me. She was insane in the office. I could tell by her staffs facial experience this is a daily occurrence .

@@allywolf9182 For several reasons a lot of healthworkers, doctors, etc. should be subjected to a course on how to interact with patients. There is no reason to act angry, spiteful or spew morals onto their patients. The worst situation is for those who suffer from substance addiction. It has taken 20 years from the law was changed here in Norway, making it an illness and that these patients should get equal treatment from health systems, farmacies, etc. as for any other groups, but it took that long before it actually changed how doctors, nurses, etc. followed the new laws. They had rights, but in practice it was as before. You'll still find the odd morals and old age attitudes towards these patient group from a lot of people, still today. But you can complain and the system will give out warnings to those who are worst to not give proper care.

I'm sorry, but, what is 5150 ? ​@@allywolf9182

Ww

Wow

I wish I can talk more about with you, being living with that since long time, did you get better results after ablation? Did you had that at what place? City / hospital, thank you😊

So let me get this straight your child suffers from SVT?

​@@mikeramos372it appears so

Now please teach me how to raise my BP while sitting in a chair! I've got pretty low BP. Which is an issue during dialysis as I alarm every 30 minutes causing someone to have to walk to shut it off. I need to raise it by 15. Oh it is also caused by scar tissue. Hypotension of the Portal Vein.

@@dianapennepacker6854crack

Because it's a humanly adorable statement 😁 And we're used to "stating locations of body parts" for children and from children. So it's a bit like "being spoken to, like in childhood, when we used to laugh over the most simple matters like seeing faces of friendly looking people"

@@KxNOxUTAi like that analogy haha

What's it caused by I been having frequent tarchycardia since last year and it's idiotic...

@@LYJManchesterUnited mine is from recurrent acute pericarditis/myocarditis. Which came out of absolutely no where. I’m young, healthy, don’t smoke, don’t drink, go to the gym, I’m not overweight. My cardiologist did say that there was a huge influx of cases of young healthy men getting pericarditis after Covid and the Covid vaccine but I’m a woman. I guess there has been a lot more women getting it as well after Covid and the vaccine but not enough to do studies I guess and the ones for young me were limited. Pericarditis is super painful with other symptoms so you’ll know if you have it. Even after the inflammation is gone I’ve been left with a lot of afib and tachycardia and just weird random heart palpitations when I lay down or sleep. It took A LONG TIME to get answers from doctors when I was at my worst. They told me it was acid reflux and then anxiety and some more stuff. Finally one night I refused to leave until I saw a cardiologist in the morning and they left me on monitors and watched my heart rate do wild stuff all night. Took a long time but that’s just my experience. I hope you get some answers soon and feel better ❤️‍🩹

Amen

I’ve had tachycardia many times before and every time it is extremely scary. I believe during one hospital visit they told me I could try this also. Usually I have to go and they give me a medicine in an IV that stops the heart but then it starts back up on its own. Well, at least I always hope that it does. I believe the medicine is called adenosine.

Yes, it doesn't always work because it is suppose to be you slowing your heart rate through breathing not dunking your face in ice.

@@jpflock1078 during a tachycardia event, slowing your heart rate through breathing doesn't work. During a tachycardia event, the heart rhythm cycle is out of whack and the ice water can sometimes shock it back into normal rhythm.

@@tammy5926 you are posting misinformation. Cold water does not provide an electrical shot to restart your fast beating heart rhythm. If no electrical power is used to shock a heart rhythm then it is the slow breathing that is slowing the rhythm

@@jpflock1078 I didn't say it provided an electrical shock. I said it can shock the heart back into a normal rhythm. Don't put words in my mouth!

Thankfully. Anything other than that would just be more added burnout to an already challenging line of work in a terrible system. It's only right he grabs all joy he can get, after surviving even a day "in there".

Does help bring down blood pressure or sugar

Residential 😂

@@debrasmith5332 It helps with blood pressure very well

My question too.

Maybe it's an instinct behavior. Just like when soldier dance when their feet are on fire. Or when you get sleepy after eating dinner.

No. Ice constricts organs as in slowing down this lowering your heart rate.

It’s because he’s holding his breath. he only has his face submerged underwater. His organs are not going to be affected in the few seconds of his face being under.

​@@smitjs01sounds like you didn't understand the post at all. cold water on the face activates a reflex that lowers your heart rate. he's demonstrating that your body helps you to swim underwater

Where is the vagus nerve exactly?

Me too

But he was holding his breath which would make the heart rate go down.

​@lovejoy71422 I thought holding breath makes it go up because your body is actively using up the oxygen stored in your lungs and therefore blood and has to pump harder to get that leftover oxygen to its vital organs... 🤔

​@Trad-Mom I noticed many years ago that my heart rate goes up when I breathe in and my lungs are full and it goes down after breathing out. At first I thought it was a problem but it turns out that having a lot of heart rate variability is a sign of good health. Anyway I think the logic is that increasing the heart rate costs more oxygen so doing it when you already have little of it would be counterproductive. Better to slow down and wait

Hyopthermia,the whole body getting cold, in drowning situations causes that slowing and pushes oxygenated blood to the core organs as the extremities get too cold and those blood vessels clamp down, buying time. It's why inducing hypothermia is actually used in a few heart procedures, slowing heart rate and giving the surgeon time to make a repair while staving off brain damage.

Amen my friend,God bless

Beautiful! 🌿❤️🌿

What are some other manuevers that work? thank you

​@mi81tkne47 I have been diagnosed with SVT as well. Some other methods that work are blowing through a syringe, holding breath and bearing down, and the one they had me do at the hospital in which they had me lie back on the bed, they may have even inverted me, then they suddenly raised the head of the bed up while I held my breath and bore down as if I was giving birth. I can't remember all the details, but if you google or look up on youtube "vagal maneuvers for SVT" or "valsalva maneuver" they should come up for you.

Was it Epsom salts (Magnesium sulfate) by any chance?.

I have seen a bedtime packet with magnesium, brand is Calm. I don't think u take Epsom salts, over only heard of soaking in that. ​@@luke14946

​@@luke14946It was probably Magnesium as a vitamin supplement. It's sold everywhere...Dollar General, Walgreen, Walmart organic market places, and online.

@@luke14946that’ll work. Though not ideal considering sulfur can act as a diuretic, you still need sulfur, just much less comparatively.

@@luke14946 no capsule containing magnesium threonate from Natural Stacks. I take one nightly for sleep. He, 175 lbs, takes only one. Experiment to see what works.God bless you and yours !

Not going to read your reddit sized post but it's literally just because he held his breath, it's very simple.

@@nooux1966 You are correct holding your breath does decrease your heart rate, but its not the near instant rate change that we observe in the video. The mammalian dive reflex is real and biologically important. Marine mammals would not be nearly as successful as they have been in an evolutionary sense if it did not exist.

@@Swbbboy ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

@@nooux1966 Its called the mammalian dive reflex dude. It evolved to help mammals dive, and is critical for dolphins, whales, seals, etc. to be able to dive for extended periods. What I am trying to say is, simply holding your breath is not the same thing as triggering this reflex. You generally need to get water on your head or face to trigger the dive reflex in addition to holding your breath.

@@Swbbboy Oh my god, I don't care, stop typing out paragraphs. Bro loves the sound of his own voice.

Try splashing some cold water onto your wrist and neck

No, alas. It is not a general heart regulator. It's a way of the body preparing for gradual shutdown (shock)

I hear you. I, too, have fringing Afib and I absolutely HATE having to deal with it! 😓#UGH

It can help for SVT though (Supra ventricular tachycardia).
