I'm no expert, but I don't think putting your hand in front of the mouth of someone who's hyperventilating is going to help them. Wouldn't that make it even harder to breathe and feel relaxed?

As someone who has panic attacks and hyperventilates; it really depends. But I definitely think it can be comforting or helpful to slow breathing. For example, it makes you focus on breathing through your nose, and the jacket + comforting could be helpful to calm down. I think it depends on the person and how they feel in the moment, but clearly it worked for him lolol
You're totally right, though, in your thinking because it might startle some people more
