This is characterized by a sudden gasp, followed by rapid breathing and increased heart rate and blood pressure. This reaction happens when you get into water at about 10 °C or 15 °C, but it can also occur at higher temperatures, between 20 °C and 25 °C, although not to such extremes. The body's involuntary response can become especially problematic if your airways are underwater when you need to breathe, or if you suffer from an underlying heart or vascular condition.
