Question: If you pass out, can you stop breathing.?
Me and my bro are arguing about it that if you pas out and are unattended, you could stop breathing. Is it true.?.?.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Probably not. Your brain will initiate the respiratory drive based on the CO2 you retain. You will pass out, from lack of O2 and the euphoric effects of the CO2, but your brain will respond while you are out. However, if you have an underlying medical condition, cardiac or drugs you may die.Health Question & Answer
