This is certainly the season for allergies so you could be right. I wonder if the vet can test his breathing/lungs since you say it seems like he can't get his breath. He may send you to an allergist, but I'm sure he'll want to do a few more tests to rule some other things out. The rapid heartbeat sounds so frightening, but hopefully it's just stress from whatever is happening to him.
FYI, the actual seizure only lasts a few minutes, but the post seizure phase where they pace and pant can last for hours. My Lady is epileptic and she stays in that stage for a long time.

Thanks Lady, yes the rapid heartbeat is the scariest and the fact that he seems to be so uncomfortable ,
the thing that worries me is this
Maxi literally has a 8pm bedtime and he goes right up to my bed to go to sleep
its actually very remarkable that no matter what he is doing his little body tells him its bedtime and he goes so this was happening while he was relaxed and sleeping i woke up to hear him making these sounds, im a light sleeper and also very sensitive to maxi as he sleeps with me so i do get nervous that i will lay on him or something so i immediately woke up and swooped him up and started rubbing his chest than i took him to get his water and it was continuous for a few hours i had the air condition on so the room would be cool ( we are having warm weather right now) anyway he almost sounded like his breathng was clicking or maybe his teeth were chattering i kept hearing clicking it was a terrible night
hopefully my very expensive vet has some answers sometimes i think he doesnt know what he is doing which concerns me but he is located at the corner of where i live and its a beautiful facility everyone around my town goes there so who knows
we will see i will explain this to him today
thank you for your knowledge

my appt is at 3:30 and i just ran home to check on him he seems alittle down i stayed with him and was kissing him to death i did notice he has been licking all 4 paws so i didnt brush him i want to leave it to show the vet the house is cool and thank god im 2 seconds away i will leave here again by 2:30 and go home
im going to explain everything to the vet and i hope he has an answer for something i mean sometimes i feel like they have no clue i took maxi about a month ago because i thought he was licking to much and the other vet gave me pretizone i didnt fill it because everyone was telling me thats to strong
i have been iving him baths with oatmeal shampoo but truthfully Lady since he has been a baby i can remember me thinking that he was possibly having seizures and the vet talked me out of it i think they thought i was too too much with maxi
the first 6 months of his life i spent thousands of dollars testing his stool getting sonograms , xrays i have done everything i can so im hoping they tell me somethng so he doesnt go through another night like this
