Need More info: How is your breathing when it happens and do you have any anxiety. Symptoms that come and go make it hard to pinpoint a diagnosis. Try and connect your symptoms to activity or other circumstances so you can share that information with your doc.

See a neurologist: If it happens when you bend your neck forward or to either side, that could represent lhermitte sign, the sensation of shocking, needling or zapping traveling through your neck & arms. Get it checked out by a neurologist.
