First.....while I can't be certain I doubt you are defeating the exhaust valves. I guess anything is possible though..... Normally, I'm in the hyperventilation camp. That's not to say other techniques are wrong or don't work. In fact, I tell people to experiment to find what works the fastest / best for them. @CHfather mentions the typical method....using this you can vary your cycle speed to find what works best for you. To me...the most important thing to remember is a deep inhale and a complete exhale (abdominal crunch) to remove as much air as possible from your lungs. Do this no matter what your breathing cycle might be. Personally, I can't speak to Batch's method. I've never been able to bring myself to try it during a hit, knowing that I have a routine that works well for me. I do however keep it in the back of my head so if I'm caught out somewhere and only have a low flow available to me, I might stand a chance of aborting a hit. The CB YouTube channel HERE has a few videos of my demos through the years. Making a couple of short breathing technique videos is on my list of things to do this summer.

Welcome to the Triangle! It’s been my home for many years and I love it! I don’t recommend Raleigh Neuro. They had a high turnover of doctors and I spent a lot of time explaining / fighting them on stuff. APRIA I’ve used them for my oxygen for years. They deliver and show up at the time they tell you their drivers are also very nice. If they initially tell you it’s not covered, you may need to call the main one 800 corporate office first. DUKE I highly recommend Duke Neuro. I see Dr. Timothy Collins at the Moreene Rd. Very knowledgeable. I haven’t see Dr. Mhoon, but he’s supposed to be amazing. They are likely a 6-10 month wait for new patients, so book now. They are worth the wait. I did see Hillary Yu at Duke. My social anxiety didn’t agree with her. CHAPEL HILL / UNC I can’t remember the specific doctor’s name, but I’ve heard good things about UNCs headache clinic. Give it a Google and you’ll find it. If you have questions, feel free to text me. I’ll forget to check back here for responses. 919-218-3318
