*but I intend to try to "reprogram" my brain. I did it for sleep, I can do it for breathing

I hope you don't mind me adding something. I've been to a physiotherapist to get my tensed body loosened up.For the tightness in the chest: Get one of those swimming noodles and cut off about six inches, this is what you'll use. (a rolled up towel will work to start) Place it lenghtwise between your shoulder blades and lie on the floor with your arms stretched out above your head. (Your hands should be on the floor. If you need a better description I can try.) Try and hold it for 30 seconds and repeat three time. Do it a few times a day until the stiffness or breathing gets easier, you can even keep doing it afterwards.
Hope it helps!
