As one inhales air, the diaphragm moves down, and when one is exhaling, it moves up. The movement of diaphragm is controlled by nerves called phrenic nerves. An irritation on these nerves could cause diaphragm spasm, and such spasms in turn cause one to have short, quick breathes interrupted by epiglottis closure.
Systemic illnesses like diabetes, anemia (low red blood cell count), kidney disease and thyroid and other hormone issues are also potential causes of muscle spasms. Diseases of the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury, can be associated with muscle spasm. Smooth muscle can also develop spasm. When a hollow structure filled with air or fluid is squeezed by the muscle spasm, significant pain can occur since the fluid or air cannot be compressed. For example, smooth muscle in the intestinal wall can go into spasm, causing waves of pain called colic.
