Shallow breathing, leading to a transient increase in blood CO2 levels, can make anxiety/panic attacks worse. I get them sometimes and a deep breathing exercise, for about 10 minutes or so, is usually effective.

Sleep apnea is more complex. You could get you doctor to refer you to a sleep apnea specialist. There are clinical tests for it and generally it can be treated successfully.
