My brother and I played a variant of the choking game where the legs would squeeze the other person's neck until that person gave up (signalled by a "tap out"), whoever tapped out first lost.

I'm 18 years of age, 6'0 and 140 pounds and my brother is 11 years old, 4'9 and 60 pounds. Therefore, I was surprised that my brother had not tapped out after about 4 minutes before I let go. So when it was my turn, I thought that I would not tap out either. However, it was to my surprise that I could only last 3 seconds (he would count the seconds out loud) before tapping out. I asked for a rematch and after about 15 seconds I passed out. My brother didn't notice that I was unconscious and continued squeezing.

He said that around the 200 second mark he noticed that I was shaking severely and so he let go. After that, I was out cold for about 10 minutes, my mouth was foaming and I had urinated and excreted.

After that, I felt very dizzy and had a headache but I didn't feel that it warranted a doctor but now I've noticed some possible symptoms. I've thrown up twice since the choke (yesterday) and it took me about 10 minutes to stand up after waking up today. Furthermore, I'm feeling really weak and my reactions are significantly slower to the point where my brother beat me in an arm wrestle with 1 hand against my 2 which would obviously not occur in normal circumstances. When should I expect these symptoms to go away? It is making me feel really emasculated around my brother.

Also, what was the shaking about? Did I have some kind of seizure? I've read a lot about the dangerous side effects and I've had really intense headaches since the incident yesterday. Will this go away too? My friend told me that sometimes people shake after getting knocked out and it's normal, so I didn't go to the doctor. Should I go? What do you all make of my symptoms?
