Hold your breath, meaning: take a breath and hold back, don't breathe. Hold your breath can also mean that a person is too nervous, too frightened and choked.<br>If someone says to you, Don't hold your breath, that means what you're saying may not happen. Also, if someone assures you that he will do something, and another person says to you, Don't hold your breath, he means: Don't take it seriously, the promise may not be fulfilled.<br>He said he expects to give us all a nice add-on in our pay this winter, but don't hold your breath, friend. Don't't you remember he made the same same dysago and we're still waiting to see any money?
