Hi,

In Tibetan Buddhism the focus on the breath is merely a tool to assist in turning our attention inward. It helps in giving the mind a focus . There are many different Inputs that one can use if a focus on the breath is not helping. I like to use tactial sensations such as the feel of the clothes I am wearing or to take in the whole of what I am hearing as opposed to the breath.

As always I would recomend asking a qualified Teacher for specific guidelines.

All The Best
