Be very cautious doing this - it is called Hyperventilation & has associated dangers.

Provided you rest after it & don't try physical activity & remember to breathe regularly, most people can try this, but by super-oxygenating the blood (&/or removing CO2 from it) your brain loses the breathing cues & forgets to breathe normally for some time & may not start again before CO2 builds to the point where you faint.

I'd say, don't be standing or in a position where you can fall, don't plan on physical stuff for at least 30 minutes after, & stop immediately if you feel pain.

Also, remember that too much oxygen can make you feel drunk & light-headed. Normally that is only for pure O2 but if you're going to hyperventilate, be aware of the possibility.
