No!: I would be concerned about what happened here. Body jerking can be indicative of other problems such as seizures. The difficulty breathing is puzzling, although it may be indicative of aspiration, swallowing some of the stomach contents into the lungs. A physician evaluation would be very important here.

Yes: Sounds like a spasm. Like a big hiccup
