For those who have experienced SN

[JSauter]

I blacked out today from low blood pressure. It was a very uncomfortable experience, lots of shortness of breath - a dreadful feeling of knowing I wasn't getting oxygen, with my heart pounding out of my chest. Things faded to black, I fell, and got back up within the minute.

Is this experience consistent with SN use? Would you describe the experience as struggling to breathe? I watched a documentary on humane death penalty, where the host tried a method of oxygen deprivation. He did not experience uncomfortable effects, to the contrary: He said the experience was almost intoxicating and rather comfortable. This was not my experience today. Just curious.

Something doesn't add up. How much SN was used? How did you recover within a minute?

Haven't personally experienced SN but it should induce heightened heart rate and breathing, not difficulty breathing. I'm not sure if low blood pressure equates to methemoglobinemia as with the former, blood is still flowing normally, just not transferring oxygen. Your experience sounds consistent although with a proper SN application you wouldn't come back after fading to black.

I didn't take SN. I passed out from low blood pressure - the question essentially asked if the experience of oxygen deprivation (between that and SN) was interchangeable.

Sorry, I assumed this was an attempt based on the title. It wasn't clear.

Here's another thread about someone who survived SN and their experience:

Hi. I haven't ever taken a fatal amount of SN, but I have taken enough to feel the effects of it a little bit. I had trouble thinking clearly, felt a bit lightheaded, and my heart was pounding. Oddly enough, none of this caused me any distress. The one thing that mildly freaked me out was when I woke up a little later (from sleeping, I did not pass out) and seeing my fingernails had turned a slight purple.
