Method Has anyone tried helium or other inert gases?

If you have personally tried helium, nitrogen, or other inert gases, even just as a test, what did you feel
How fast was the moment of losing consciousness
Did you experience panic, physical reactions, or unexpected sensations

Breathing Nitrogen is just like breathing air, tested it many times, 5 or 6 breaths, took the mask off at 77, ten seconds later, Oxygen Level dropped to 40, no reaction, certainly no panic-- Das_Nichts breathed it into unconciousness, said it was just like going to sleep, and that he saw some red and green colors

Forgot to add that there is an increased pulse rate of course, heart doesn't like being deprived of Oxygen

So you dropped to 40 even after removing the mask?
So yes... oxygen keeps falling, like a sunset that doesn't stop just because you close your eyes.

And then that line…
"The heart doesn't like being without oxygen."
What a tragically romantic thing to say!
But alas, the heart doesn't love at all.
It holds no dreams, no regrets. It's merely a blind and noble servant,
beating in chains behind your ribs,
loyal even when everything else surrenders.

And when it gets agitated? It races, thrashes… hits 700 beats per minute?
Did you feel it? In those first five or six seconds?
That muffled hammering, as if to say: "Don't leave me—not yet…"
