Method Can carotid sinus massage work?

[Young]

Can carotid sinus massage kill me? Apparently some people have died from it.

I'd suspect it would be bordering on impossible to induce death from self administered CSM.
The dangers of stroke or brain damage would though, I believe, be real enough.

Carotid sinus massage is unreliable. It's unlikely to be lethal, and there are too many variables: it might cause fainting or cardiac arrest, but the chances of failure are high.

Broo that sucks
