Could Recurring Difficulty In Breathing Indicate Respiratory Disorder?

Hi. It s about my dad. My dad couldn t breathe for a minute just now. It s 1:00 am now in India. He says he actually knew that he wasn t able to take air through his nostrils. And he got up and started making noise out of both worry and also to wake us up. Then he could not take in air through the mouth also. After a struggle for like 10-20 seconds, he was able to breathe again normally. I never knew about this. He also didn t tell usbthat it s was recurring. I m very concerned. Is this a respiratory disorder?
