When in doubt - breathe. Holding in your breath while exerting yourself can stop the blood to and from your brain; this is known as the Valsalva Maneuver.
You should always exhale on exertion or when you are going against gravity e.g curling up a weight. If you are new to training or just confused in the gym, breathing can be a difficult skill to learn. I recommend all my new clients to count repetitions as they are performing the exercise; this ensures that air is coming in and out.
