    Hello!
    Breathing deeply can interfere with the heart frequency by a nervous stimulation. Vagus nerve, or differently called pneumo-gastric nerve is a nerve that links the diaphragm with the brain, it has fibers to the lungs, heart, pharynx, larynx, trachea, esophagus, etc. If you make a deep prolonged diaphragmatic breathing, you can easily stimulate the vagus nerve, causing a parasympathetic response, lowering heart beating. If the cardiac frequency falls than as a second contradictory response hearts try to compensate her self by increasing the heart frequency.
    I hope it has been a single episode and that it will not ever happen to you. If this condition is recreated you should contact your cardiologist.
    Hope I helped you with my answer!
