I have never hyperventilatied but i suffer from anxiety and after reading up on hyperventilation attacks

I've know become scared of them


The thing is i have no idea what causes it


So i have been going around in mental torture preventing myself from breathing through my mouth all the time i am primarily a nose breather but sometimes you have to breathe through your mouth


And constantly checking my breathing


I get scared everytime i get out of breath


I notice i take deep breaths occasionally like every 10 to 20 minutes


Every time i take them i'm scared i'll hyperventilate


Is hyperventilation as bad as they say how does it happen and Can a few deep breaths causes 1?
