Hi....this is not related to fits or seizures. With the background of what you quote, with his allergic component also on, I feel that he has chronic allergy leading to upper airway resistance syndrome or sleep disordered breathing.
The best way to treat this is intranasal steroids for a 6-12 weeks. You will see good improvement in symptoms within 2 weeks. Kindly consult your pediatrician regarding this.
