Answers:
I'm not sure what you mean when you say your breathing is "8% out of 100) If you mean your oxygen saturation is 80% then you definitely have a problem. Not sure how old you are but someone with 80% O2 sat would either have asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). If your sat was 8% you would be hospitalized on oxygen therapy. With regard to anxiety....most people who display breathing issues associated with this will generally hyperventilate This is when the oxygen saturation in the blood is too high. What we normally do is put an oxygen mask on the patient but not hook it up to any O2. That way they are breathing back to normal levels of C02 (Carbon Dioxide) and their symptoms abate. best wishes
