My friends baby stops breathing when she feels pain

My friend rang me today very concerned about her 10 month old little girl. When she hurts herself falling over etc she screams and then seems to stop breathing. Yesterday she went unconcious for a few seconds but my friend blew in her face and she seemed to come around. Has anyone ever heard of this before and what are you meant to do when they stop breathing? My daughter does it during tantrums but never for this long!!

A friend's DD used to do this when really mad. I believe that once they are unconscious, regular breathing kicks back in and then they are OK; it seems worse than it is. (Friend's DD is now nearly 20 and still hale and hearty!)
