Side effects of nitric oxide? (lemmy.ml)

Hi. I just started buteyko method, and it's supposed to relax you and release nitric oxide when you do it. I did a session earlier, and I started seeing visuals/swirling of colors in my eyes. I'm pretty sure it was the nitric oxide being released. Are there any major side effects to nitric oxide? Could I get super high if my body released enough of it?

You should watch out because nitric oxide is highly explosive. About the same as nitroglycerin. No but seriously: While it is true that nitric oxide is released in the nasal cavity (always not just during buteyko), the amounts are waay to low to have any noticeable impact. If you are doing breathing exercises any visual effects you notive are probably coming from too much oxygen.
