Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

What is happening to him is normal after deep breathing and you shouldn't worry about that. Moreover, he is experiencing tachycardia in the early hours of the day due to excessive adrenaline release on the same hours.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
