When I have trouble breathing I usually use my inhaler as quickly as possible sit or rest against something I also use for breathing with pursed lips when I breathe in push my stomach out I fill it with air and then breathe out slowly and continue until it goes away a couple nurses taught me that and it has helped me a lot sometimes when you're panicking it's hard to remember but you have to try to do the breathing there's also breathing in your nose like you're smelling something and blowing out a candle that helps too
