Not a medical problem, if he holds his breath till he passes out, then his respiratory center will take over and he'll breathe involuntarily.. kids are creative aren't they lol

I would strongly recommend you see a doctor just to make sure. It best to see a doctor because a lot of times different medical problems have very similar symptoms. The way you described it with his lips and face changing color it sounded really serious.

it can be really frightening...breath holding spells ...i think thats what they are called...
my son did this quite a few times when he was about 1yr just because he wouldn't want to come out of the bath!
....and once we called the ambulance he went blue...passed out... shaking and was foaming at the mouth....he came round by the time he went to hospital but was in a deep sleep for some hours after.

...caused by a tantrum...:rollseyes

elderly people say its not good to let them get to this stage of crying ...so avoid it if possible without letting the child know you give in to their demands.

distract them or don't let situation get to that point in the first place.
