Should a baby in this condition undergo a 24-hour video EEG?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:
Okay, when playing while holding the baby upright, when the baby gets very excited or scared, they will suddenly spread their arms outwards, tense their body, open their eyes wide, and have a very startled and scared expression. This lasts for about six or seven seconds. Their eyes don't roll back, their mouth doesn't twitch, and they don't foam at the mouth. Afterward, they continue playing. This only happens when the baby is tense, excited, or overly excited. It rarely occurs if they are not held upright. The maternal and child health hospital said it might be tetany. They told me that if I don't feel comfortable, I can go to Hangzhou to have a 24-hour video EEG to rule out infantile spasms. At the same time, the baby also snorts while sleeping, often waking up gasping for air, has coarse breathing sounds, and after waking up gasping, their breathing pauses for seven or eight seconds, with their mouth open gasping.
