What Causes Sudden Breathing Difficulties And Tremors?

I had someone I know die recently. Circumstances were very unusual. He began to breathe so hard, all body and hands began to shake, and his lips were green. He took some medicine and it subsided, but a few minutes later, it started again. The ambulance was called, but the person died. Judging from that, what would you say it was that could cause death so sudden?

Hi,

I am sorry for the lost of your friend.

There are various causes to his death; further details on his medical history are needed for a more specific opinion:
- what chronic/acute illness he suffered?
- was he on any meds? As he has taken some medicine and symptoms subsided, it means that he was taking those medicines on regular basis

Breathing hard might be a sign of possible cardio-vascular event, which is commonly occurring in chronic patients taking antihypertensive medications.

He was already having signs of being in difficulties, however, a complete judgement will be based on the requested data.

All the best!
