Do you hyperventilate?
I never thought I did until I read this:

"For one minute (timed), count one breath in and out as 1, the next breathe in and out as 2, and so on. It may be difficult at first, but don't try to change your breathing rate. Time yourself for one minute.
If your rate was over 12 breaths per minute then you are probaly hyperventilating"

I counted 14 for me D: and that's my normal breathing, I am a little stressed right now though.

What's your count?
