@drkirren: 6 TIPS BELOW

✨Instead of overfocusing on your breath, shift your focus away from your breathing onto something else. ✨Pay attention to other bodily sensations, like how your feet feel on the ground or how your body feels in the chair. 
✨Touch something; feel the texture of it, paying attention to the sensation of this on your skin. 
✨Practice breathing deeply into your belly instead of your chest. 
✨Process anxious thoughts about your breathing by turning them into questions. For example, instead of “I can’t breathe properly, I’m going to faint”, try “Have I ever fainted from air hunger?” 
✨Use reassuring self-talk and comfort yourself with affirmations that remind you that you are safe. These are some things that can help, but dealing with your anxiety holistically is key to finding long-term relief from feelings of air hunger.
