I've been experiencing hyperventilation quite often, especially when I'm feeling excited or stressed. It seems to linger in my mind, and when I concentrate on it, I feel like I have some control over it. This usually ends up giving me short panic attacks. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

I'm really struggling with shyness whenever I'm around girls. Even a simple touch makes me feel like there's an electric current running through me, and it's been like this since I was in Class 4, not just starting from 9th grade. I went to a coed school from LKG, so it's not like I haven't been around girls. It's complicated because Ive always been quite poor with academics, but I'm super active in sports. Do you think this shyness could be some sort of psychic issue?
