If you take slow, deep breaths it should decrease your anxiety by around 5-10 breaths. If you start to feel light-headed or dizzy, then stop doing it but if you breathe slowly and deeply, you should be ok and it should be helpful. You can see a psychiatrist for further treatment of your anxiety. Good luck to you!
