Between 1 and 2 1/2-ish minutes depending on how prepared I am, I've timed it a bunch of times before. Just now managed 97 seconds, and that's with no real preparation. Woooo, asthma trained lungs.

@UndeadPrivateer Well done. I am guessing you mean hyper ventilating to prepare??

@Hanging2 Nah, hyperventilating increases your blood gas levels, making you want to breathe more and making it hard to hold your breath. You want some deep breathing exercises first, not hyperventilating. I do breathing exercises all the time, helps a lot with dealing with asthma symptoms.

@UndeadPrivateer Will have to look it up. Thanks for the tip.
