What Causes Sudden Shortness Of Breath And Chest Pain?

I have been having shortness of breath, the constant urge to take a deep breath, chest pain when breathing is more difficult. It is like I am fighting my diaphragm. I have a POLG 1 mutation mitochondrial disease. I am wondering if I have diaphragmayic spasms. Clonazepam seems to help, Currently I take 1mg 3x daily. Is there anything that might work better? Are there any other possible explainations? All my organ systems; stomach, bowel, bladder all spasm.

*Cause is due to mutations in the mitochondrial DNA affecting mitochondrial
function giving rise to all symptoms.
*Treatment are not specific , only supportive
- maintain your hydrations with plenty of liquids
- take diet rich in proteins, iron , vitamins , minerals, trace elements, anti-
oxidants to boost your immunity
- deep breathing exercises & YOGA help at long term if done on regular
basis.
- oral multivitamins may help.
- other Spindle transfer / Nuclear DNA treatment is under evaluation at
present.
