This is a neat little thing you've made here. I feel more relaxed just watching it.

Box breathing seems interesting but I find that it makes me anxious and my heart rate climbs as I do it. Isn’t it supposed to do the opposite of this?

Just in case you are interested in trying something else, I can recommend, 4-8-7-0 instead, it's amazing for really calming me down.

4-7-8-0, mixed up the numbers. Not sure if it matters, though ;)

I feel like I'm suffocating while trying it. I don't really bother holding my breath when I'm trying to relax. I just focus finding a smooth pace of inhaling and exhaling a bit of a gap between breaths.

For me the "I feel like I'm suffocating" was just caused by not taking a deep enough breath. If you're breathing slow, you also need to take in more air on each breath to get enough.
