See a doctor: With the breathing problem, you should see your doctor for a good history, physical examination, perhaps testing.

Discuss these : Symptoms with your doctor. Muscle spasms just in of themselves do not lead to "gasping for air." there may be an anxiety attack causing some of this, or may be some other issues.
