When you get your breath back after doing something energetic, you 

start breathing normally again.

normally again.==> 뭔가 육체적으로 힘든 일을 하다가 숨을 고르다.

 If you hold your breath, you make yourself stop breathing for a few moments, for example because you are under water.

If something makes you catch your breath, it makes you take a short breath of air, usually because it shocks you.

 If you are out of breath, you are breathing very quickly and with difficulty because you have been doing something energetic.

 If you say something under your breath, you say it in a very quiet
