Sounds like GAD to me, I had this for a while. It took a couple of weeks to shake off. I was more OCD about the breathing and that is what caused the Anxiety. Being so fixated on the breathing made it frustrating. When I finally distracted myself it slowly got better and then finally it just went back to normal.

Try to distract yourself when you get all caught up in the breathing situation. Remember your body will automatically breath so its not like you can hold your breath. Slow and deep breaths get your body regulated. Then just try and carry on your normal life!
