i think you are having a normal response...take rest between sets to recover and reoxygenate.
are you holding your breath to stabilize abdominally during the movement?

For squats most take a deep breath before squatting and push out on their belt from their belly, squat down and once you get past the sticking point of your squat you can breathe out.
