hey ritch,

try not breathing into a paper bag.. i guess the body needs more oxygen to calm it at this point. i try breathing deeply thru the chest, and exhaling through the mouth. hope u feel better.

I have always breathed into a paper bag (to increase carbon di oxide into the bloodstream) and always breath from my stomach not chest.
