Too much oxygen in the blood causes "central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity" is manifested as dizziness, nausea and twitching, especially on the face, leading to convulsions, which although not lethal themselves, can cause drowning of divers or lethal pressure damage during a rapid ascent to the surface.

The shortness of breath, clamminess and tingling in his extremities makes me think he could be having an anxiety attack. Is he experiencing anything else like a general sense of doom when this happens?
Whatever it is he should definitely see a doctor. Even if it is something like anxiety (which isn't life threatening) someone will be able to help him.

I am a sufferer of Emphysema, breathing problems.
I get this shortness of breath (or rapid breathing as it is refered to) and tingling often. With me it is Hyperventilation. normally triggered by anxiety.
Some people may say breath into a brown paper bag, this is actually not a good idea, go to the Dr's ASAP.

Does not sound like too much oxygen...
Tough to get too much oxygen at ambient atmospheric pressure.

when a person breaths to fast. The exchange of oxygen and carbondioxide is interrupted. Which causes the numbness and tingling

This is clearly a need for estrogen and some lack of effort, considering some conditioning and work are needed from him. He is to take garlic and avoid lazying around. Discipline is to help him stop bugging others for his own problems, family is there to distract and show apreciation and love, not to indulge and withdraw atention.

It isnt too much oxygen that does that, its not enough Co2. When you hyperventilate, you breathe off your Co2 too quickly, which causes these symptoms

Sounds like he's hyperventilating. I think there is lack of co2. He needs to breathe in a bag.
