Would that not be Carbon dioxide poisoning rather than hypoxia?

Indeed it would. The CO2 would trigger the breathing reflex and panic. Hypoxia does not trigger that and you start to lose yourself, similar to being drunk.

Yeah I got a bit hypoxic on a mountain, it was 29F with a wind and here I am taking off my jacket feeling nice and warm overly euphoric.

I’m not a doctor, but I stayed at a holiday in express last night.
