∙ 11y agoWikipedia covers this fairly well, but it essentially leads to constriction of blood vessels that supply the brain with blood, thus reducing the brains supply of oxygen and glucose. This is a result of a chain reaction set off by expelling too much CO2, ultimately resulting in the constriction of blood vessels and deprivation of oxygen and glucose.
Physically, this can manifest itself in the form of lightheadedness, headaches, feelings of "pins and needles", and sometimes even fainting.
As to whether or not this transient hypoxia causes any lasting symptoms, medical consensus seems to indicate that it does not, but I still prefer to err on the side of caution in this regard. After all, denying the air appropriate levels of oxygen seems far from ideal.
