Breakfast seemed to help, but I just wasn't hungry enough to eat more than a bagel.

Oh yeah, deep breathing is a general health practice. When babies are born they naturally breath into their belly. By the time we are teenagers we are breathing very shallow and therefore using less of our lung capacity. We basically "unlearn" how to breath.
Whenever I have been in a class that teaches meditation, they emphasize breathing "into your belly". That gets the oxygen into the lower part of your lungs where it can be absorbed.
It's hard for me to eat a big breakfast too.
