When people get anxiety attacks they tend to 'over-breathe'. This removes a lot of the carbon dioxide in the body, so the level of carbon dioxide in the blood is lower and that makes them feel worse! Breathing into a paper bag for half a dozen or so breaths builds up the carbon dioxide in your body again, so you should immediately start feeling better!
