based on the description of the symptoms, the determined problem would be: Respiratory arrest

Carotid Pulse connect your windpipe to your lung. If Carotid pulse is working properly, then the breathing problem happens in the person's lung. And the breathing failure that caused by the malfunctioning of any part of lung is always considered as a Respiratory arrest
