    This does happen when I'm anxious sometimes. What I've found is that I'm actually holding me breath without realising it. Slowing down and counting breaths can help

      There's no quick way to undo anxiety, really you need to talk to a therapist to help get to the root of anxiety to resolve it if you want to be in control of it
