Is it normal to feel high from breathing?!

I just did Pranayama breathing exercises for the first time and immediately afterwards felt high, almost as if I had smoked something really good. I wasn't doing yoga with it, I was simply sitting comfortably. Is this normal?

    You hold your breath when doing this, so you are getting less oxygen that from your normally use. The highness feeling comes from having less oxygen. After a while your body will be able to use less oxygen.
