Anyone Else Breathe Funny When they Play?

I don't really concentrate on it, but once I did forget to breath when I was playing this really awesome sounding improv-thing. Other than that I usually end up breating at about 1/2 tempo. I breath in half notes lmao (assumed common time).
 
Yeah.. now that you mention it in so many words.. Breathing and vision both get affected while playing. I suppose it's my body coping with the increased stress on all systems.. Not such a bad thing it turns out, as the increased sense of "now" focuses the concentration into something much sharper than normal.
