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 talk to your doctor about what you're doing and experiencing. Because it sure sounds like you're either doing a breathing technique wrong and suffocating yourself or you're doing it right and have an underlying condition that's making whatever you're doing dangerous.

TLDR talk to a medical professional not social media about it.
