Breathing Techniques for anxiety?

Hi, My chest been hurting for a few days now due to anxiety and I need some tips on breathing techniques to help me reduce the anxiety and I opened mind and don't know any breathing techniques of any kind I picked up somethings from the natural health food store to help to but I would like to know some techniques I can use to help me out.

I’m looking at ways to reduce my stress in life and I am going to be going to a phyratrist in May.

What helped you and some links might be benifical too.

Thank you(s).

Answer:
1. Sit comfortably.
2. Take a long, deep breath and exhale it slowly while saying the word “relax” silently.
3. Close your eyes.
4. Let yourself take ten natural, easy breaths. Count down with each exhale, starting with “ten.”
5. This time, while you’re breathing comfortably, notice any tensions, perhaps in your jaw or forehead or stomach. Imagine those tensions loosening.
6. When you reach “one,” open your eyes again.
