You might be focusing on your breathing to the point where you have a hard time breathing normally.. for example, you may breathe too much air or not enough. I'm not sure, but it's possible you may be a hypochondriac. Do you place your hand over your chest and check your heartbeat and feel the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe? I've had experiences like this myself, like when I was a kid and I first started realizing I had a heart murmur. I'd notice my heart beating strangely and assumed I was gonna have a heart attack and die. (I'm a hypochondriac myself so.) Try to focus on something else and keep yourself busy, and see if your breathing improves. You may or may not have an actual breathing problem but like I said, you may be getting too self aware of your breathing, since it's something we do unconsciously.
Is it normal to be extremely worried about my breathing?
