Breath-Holding Challenge Sends Brazilian Students to the Hospital: A Dangerous Trend Spreads Through Schools

A dangerous trend is spreading through Brazilian schools. Students are participating in a challenge where they hold their breath until they faint. Videos of this challenge, which has resulted in loss of consciousness, are circulating on social media. "It's a game that can lead to death," says Dr. [Cardiologist's Name], who explains the risks of compressing the chest and restricting oxygen to the brain. The videos, recorded by students themselves, show several instances of the challenge, with some students collapsing and others laughing. The challenge underscores the need for increased awareness of online trends and their potential dangers. Schools and parents must work together to educate children about the risks involved in such challenges. The SBT News report serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible online behavior and the need for adult supervision.
