Answers:
James, fortunately if you were to intentionally deprive your brain/body of oxygen for a sufficient period of time that it could no longer sustain basic functions, you would faint -- and then begin breathing normally as your cerebral cortex takes back the command of your body while you're unconscious..
We're fortunate in that we can't override some of these systems that we have built in..
In any case, it's not a good idea to intentionally deprive your brain of oxygen for no reason.. While there are many diving exercises that require the regulated holding and releasing of breath, there are also specific oxygen uptake strategies to recover from the effects quickly..
Bottom line: the body & brain need oxygen, so don't fight it if you don't have to..
Hope that helps..Health Question & Answer

See a Dr.. asap.. You have more than aspergers going on.. Seriously.. Actually to answer this question you would do neither- your body would not allow you make yourself pass out or die.. You would get very dizzy and release your nose and breathe.. Really see the doc.. Good luck..
