It would be best to ask your neurologist.

You can get one of those oxygen finger checkers on Amazon. They are under $20. It will keep track of what his oxygen and pulse are. If it goes in the 80s call an ambulance especially if it continues to creep down. As for his heart Kardia is also sold on Amazon the price varies since they do run specials. I think I saw on TV it's 79.99 right now so $20 off. It will give you a small ekg and let you know if any afib which is an arrhythmia going on. This way you can be proactive and and get him help asap instead of just worrying.

It depends on your health an how much your body can go through.
In a Seizure the Heartbeat's fast while it's happening. The lungs expand if it becomes more severe breathing can cause a sift but how long it lasts can make a difference weather to take you to a Hospital or handle it in the moment

Not getting any oxygen is the main cause of my seizures. I suffered Meconium aspiration syndrome at birth and turned blue. That killed my brain cells and caused seizures.
