ORIGINAL: Bearlee I have experienced a kind of breath play...but it was a hand at my throat to restrict blood-flow at my carotid artery. I don't believe I've ever even become light-headed, but love the feeling and 'settle' immediately. There is little else that will put me in such a submissive space as baring my neck for his hand. beverly PLEASE be sure to do this with extreme caution. The carotid arteries in most adults contain some amount of plaque, and plaque can cause narrowing. When these arteries are compressed, the plaque can become dislodged, forming an emboli that will go straight to the brain, causing a stroke. The rule of thumb prior to doing any carotid sinus massage as a clinical practitioner is to auscultate the lateral aspects of the neck over the carotids (using a stethoscope) and listen for something called bruits (pronounced brew-eeze). It sounds like a blowing or a rushing sound, and can be easily mistaken for environmental noise or heart sounds/murmurs transmitted through the chest. A bruit is unlikely to be heard if the blockage is under 40%, however, that does not negate the risks. A bruit also may not be heard if the amount of stenosis is so great that the arterial flow is significantly diminished (80% or greater.) Carotid Sinus Massage is a practice that not even seasoned paramedics like to have to do in the field because of the risks involved (there's other ways to stimulate a vaso-vagal cascade that's far less physiologically catastrophic.) Carotid sinus reflex death is a disputed mechanism of death in which manual stimulation of the carotid sinus allegedly causes strong vagus nerve impulses leading to terminal cardiac arrest. (Not usually the way I like to end my playtime!)
