What's it mean or called if one keeps thinking of his breathing and thinks they need to manually breathe? sometimes i feel like that

Heightened: Some doctors may call this a "heightened sense of awareness" of what is going on inside your body. Luckily, your body will not stop breathing if you stop thinking about it. Anxiety or stress may manifest with these thoughts, Have you been feeling stressed as of late?

I breathe really slowly, is that a problem? I have always breathed rather slowly and i'm not really concerned about it, i'm just curious if it means anything. I often manipulate my breathing to match others just for fun and they're always faster than mine
