Too much or too little air

ALSO, I feel like I'm getting little air OR too much air... I'm confused 😞 and scared.

Hi it sounds like you feel you can't get enough air so you start to breathe a lot more deeply and end up hyperventilating. When you do this your lungs don't empty enough of the carbon monoxide (or is it dioxide - can never remember) out so it's harder to take a breath in or out.

A good way to control your breathing is to look up breathing exercises especially for anxiety attacks. If you practise these you will be able to use them in the event of further attacks.
