The main role of breathing is to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide from our lungs. When we are under stress we contract our energy and shift our breathing patterns to smaller, more shallow breaths. In addition, we tend to breathe from the upper body which disrupts the balance of gases and pH levels in our body. This kind of shallow over-breathing, or hyperventilation, can prolong our feelings of anxiety and make our physical symptoms of stress even worse. As a result we might experience tightness in our chest, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, feelings of panic, light headedness or muscular aches and stiffness.
