Some children are really prone to breath-holding episodes - I have seen some children who, when they are angry or hurt, will hold their breath until they pass out! But if you are worried, seeing your GP with him would be a great idea. Usually cardiac problems like that are easy to detect with a good listen to the heart, and maybe an ultrasound.

A friends little boy used to do this - it frightened her no end.

Her dr told her to blow a puff of air at his face and it usually shocked/distracted him into taking a breath.
