Do You Tend To Hold Your Breath When Stressed?

This obviously does not apply on very stressful actions like sprinting, but more like your everyday tasks or actions.

For example, if you play video games (action/competitive etc) or when you're arguing with someone etc.

I don't just tend, I hold my breath on purpose. Having tried several ways to reduce stress, I find breathing exercises (including holding breath) to be very helpful. Actually, there are more benefits. I can recommend reading this article https://betterme.world/articles/benefits-of-holding-your-breath/ to find out the details. I personally think that breathing properly when stressed is much better than taking meds.
