I have a big problem with shallow breathing too. Deep breathing has actually helped me bring a panic/anxiety attack to a halt when I am able to get a grip on myself and do it. Funny thing, I mentioned to my T last week that I was considering having a small tattoo done on the inside of my arm that just said "BREATHE" in small letters. I am thinking it might be a constant reminder to myself to breathe slow & deep. I don't have any other tattooes, but this seems like a good "excuse".
