Breathing into a paper bag can help alleviate shortness of breath by increasing carbon dioxide levels in the blood, which may counteract hyperventilation. When someone is anxious or panicking, they often breathe rapidly, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide. By breathing in a bag, they can rebreathe some of the exhaled carbon dioxide, helping to restore balance and calm their respiratory rate. However, this technique should be used cautiously and is not suitable for all situations.
