My anxiety makes me worry about my breathing.

I feel very anxious about moving around my house, so I try to just move around in my bedroom. But I feel weird, a bit out of it, and my heart starts to race and I begin to get panicky. Do you think it’s just anxiety?
I had breathing anxiety before COVID, but I can still take deep breathes. I just worry that getting an oximeter will cause further anxiety and obsessing to check it and then spiralling if it’s lower than 94.
