Any risk of overdoing it?

If I taught myself to do 2 second inhales that follow up with 10 second pause after an exhale, could that for example cause too much CO2 stress on the body? Or my body will make me air hungry automatically if my breath holds are too long for my own health

Also are controlled slow exhales healthier than breath pauses? Is there a difference? Thanks for any response
