I'm not completely sure about what you mean but have you ever tried yoga? Yoga incorporates breathing exercises with meditating basically. It calms you down and takes away stress. I would suggest trying it. You can get yoga tapes or take classes.

What kind of breathing exercises? For what purpose?

The breath is often used in many forms of yoga for relaxation. As far as I know, all martial arts also encorporate using your breath, a manifestation of your chi, or life energy, life force, to focus your energy and efforts with specificity.

Certain healing techniques teach breathing to help heal using visualization.

There is "square breathing" which is a technique used to help calm you down if you feel anxious or worried, by balancing the gaseous exchanges within your body and reduce hyperventilation or shallow/upper breathing.

So it really depends what you're looking to "do" or what your purpose is in your "breathing exercises."
