A member asked:

How can i learn breathing techniques to control anxiety and lower my stress level?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are many ways,: Including finding a yoga or biofeedback trainer, finding a mental health professional who treats anxiety, or buying a legitimate training program to use on your own, such as www.Wilddivine.Com. Many books on anxiety or stress management have simple breathing instructions. You might also find an appropriate class at a community college.
