If I had to guess, I would say that he is having Panic Attacks.

Trust me these panic attacks can absolutly make you hyperventelate and feel like your not getting enough air even thoug you are.

They are very scary and can sometimes lead to a state of severe depression, which brings a whole new host of symptoms that are very scary.

Not always, but severe anxiety and depression often work together. Kind of like two peas in a pod. It's complex, but is often the case.

Ask him if when he feels like this, exactly what other symptoms he is having.
