In my experience you can still control your breathing. I like to try breathing morse code as loud as I can. It makes me feel a little better that Im doing all I can, even if it's next to nothing.

Never tried... It seems rather difficult to think to breath when then only thing you want is to wake up as fast as possible !

YMMV there, a lot (like a disturbing amount) of sleep paralysis sufferers report a hag coming to sit on their chest making breathing hard. I've never met her and I'm so glad I didn't.
