Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your muscle spasm.

There are some causes most import for you to get a proper diagnosis :
1). Deficiency of potassium.
2). Deficiency of Vitamin D.
3).hyperventilation.

Third cause is important in your case, as you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you must be having the hyperventilation. Hyperventilation causes respiratory alkilosis and severe generalized muscle spasm.
No,. I don't think you have multiple sclerosis but it is COPD which is cause of your concern.

Hope my answer will help you and write us back in case you need further assistance.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
