Anxiety causes abnormal breathing patterns, shallow breathing. Learning to breathe correctly will help to alleviate the symptoms caused by hyperventilation and shallow breathing. Even though the link I'm providing specifically mentions Panic Attacks it's equally as useful for treating symptoms of anxiety through correct breathing. This is not pseudo science it's well known that retraining your breathing can reduce the severity or eradicate symptoms of stress.

I also include this link as the method is slightly different (exhaling first)

Have a look at those and practice, practice, practice. It takes time to get it right when it works it works good.
