Hi  PTSD is an anxiety disorder. Breathing, paying attention to your breathing is an important first step I think, because when we become anxious we tend to hold our breath. Holding our breath makes our body tingle even more!
Also, by focussing on your breathing it will help you not think about whatever is causing your anxiety. The brain cannot focus on more than one thing at a time (really.)
I know I have had to create a "mantra" for when I have severe pain flare... I tell myself "This pain will not kill me." You might want to create a positive saying to tell yourself (a little more positive than mine  ) to counter how you are feeling it's the end of the world.
