It could be yo be because of anger and anxiety there could be some tachypnoea
but in normal condition and while doing exercise if you are doing or any other
moderate exercise if no breathing trouble,forget about it no need to take any
medicine for that. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query,

I understand your concern,

Breathing problem appearing like this is absolutely normal. When ever you are upset, tense and angry your emotional center in your brain gets activated. That will increase your respiratory rate and heart rate. So stop worrying. Just relax.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for your follow up queries, if any.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.

Regards,
