Sudden breathlessness during sleep

2021-06-01 22:11:02
My husband is 30 years old. Rarely he wakes up 15 mins into sleep feeling breathless and pounding heartbeat. This happened once last May 2020, we took ECG, Echo and everything was normal. It repeated again today. Today's diet was a little heavy - two eggs and bread for breakfast, channa gravy and greens for lunch, vada evening snack and dosa for dinner. Please suggest what treatment should be taken.
