| Lowering the body's metabolic rate prior to such procedures might protect those tissues during an oxygen deficit. I submit that rather than simply developing an oxygen deficit as a consequence of intense body movement, the build-up of carbon dioxide (CO2) from increased metabolism is the main cause of the sometimes nearly paralyzing symptoms of breathlessness.
