Assuming you are speaking of getting too much oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure, you would experience the symptoms of hyperventilation. Getting an excess of oxygen causes chemical changes in the blood. Hyperventilation causes the carbon dioxide level in the blood to decrease. This lower level of carbon dioxide reduces blood flow to the brain, which may result in the following nervous system and emotional complaints:
- Weakness
- Fainting
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Agitation
- A feeling of being outside yourself
- Seeing images that aren't there
- Feeling as if you can't breathe
The lowered carbon dioxide levels in the blood also can cause squeezing of the airways, which then results in wheezing.
Getting too much oxygen can also cause the calcium levels to drop in your blood, which may result in the following nervous system complaints:
- Numbness and tingling (usually in both arms or around the mouth)
- Spasms or cramps of the hands and feet
- Muscle twitching

What is meant when you say too much is bad and too little is bad?
The "Goldilocks Principle" applies to everything. For anything you can name, there is "too much!", or "too little", or "Just right!" Water; too much water, and you will drown; too little water and you die of thirst. Food; too much and you get fat, too little and you'll starve. There's a "Just right!" somewhere in between. Oxygen; too much oxygen, and you'll have seizures and you'll be brain-damaged. That's why scuba divers never dive with pure oxygen; below about 40 feet depth, the oxygen becomes toxic. Too little oxygen, and your brain will starve.
