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.
Usually they occur without warning. Spasms are uncontrolled contractions of the esophagus muscles that normally move food from the mouth down into the stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, acid from the stomach that comes up into the esophagus, can cause the spasm. There are two types of spasms: Diffuse Esophageal Spasm - where the esophageal muscles contract in an uncoordinated way, which can cause food to get stuck in the esophagus. Nutcracker Esophagus - where the muscles of the esophagus contract too hard when swallowing, which can be very painful.
