I know the exact feeling suffered from it for the last 5 years...
Breathe through your nose and it doesn't have to be deep.. This is just your overactive nervous system in overdrive...
When you can't get that deep breath just wait 4-5 more breaths (you're hyperventilating)
Do not fear it, its just a wretched symptom keep reminding yourself of this!
I know its really hard to try to trick your own brain into snapping itself back to reality...
Keep breathing through your nose ..

It may also help to breathe out through pursed lips. breathe in through your nose like Terra mentioned, and breathe out through your mouth. Breathe in on a count of 5, hold for a 1 count, then breathe out for a 5 count. Hyperfocus on your breathing and nothing else and you'll come out the winner!

Feel better!
