 Re: chest breathing and hyperventilation in the upper register

I wonder - are you practising long notes at all? If not, this may be a way of training yourself to breathe less frequently without the distractions of notes, rhythm etc.

If you're not used to doing long notes at first, they don't have to be incredibly long - if you have a metronome you could use that to help you count. YOu could start by doing some long notes below the break and then try above or try adding the speaker key in the middle of a long note - what changes? This may help you to work out why the upper register bothers you.

Also, a good exercise for expression is to make the dynamic shape of a phrase on a long note (crescendo/diminuendo/accents etc) before trying to play the phrase as written. This way you can kill two birds with one stone - work on the breathing and interpretation at once.

Hope this helps.
