Breathing issues: It sounds like you are doing this as a form of tic or habit. Do you feel compelled to do this? Breathing is not something we control normally - it happens on its own and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. You may want to have cognitive behavioral therapy for this if you are feeling compelled to do this.

Stop: Doing it if it concerns your family. Moreover it is of no benefit
