If you’re hyperventilating, but don’t have a paper bag handy, here’s a tip that’s been working very well for me to normalize breathing and induce relaxation.
Get in a comfortable position.
Try to breathe in and out slowly, long deep breaths.
Eventually, at the end of a long exhale, hold your breath. Keep holding it for as long as you can (this will be really difficult). Try 15 seconds initially. Then slowly inhale again.
Breathe in and out slowly a few times.
And then again, hold your breath at the end of an exhale for as long as you can. 25 seconds maybe. And then inhale.
Repeat this for about ten minutes and your breathing should have returned to normal, and you should feel much more relaxed, having retained some CO2.
