There are a variety of reasons why muscles react involuntarily, from over-use to serious underlying complications such as chronic conditions. It is important to understand the difference between minor muscle spasms occurring under the rib cage that does not require medical assistance and more severe spasms that might require medical attention.Ī muscle spasm or muscle cramp is a sudden involuntary contraction of a muscle, group of muscles or a hollow organ such as the heart.

However, spasms under the rib cage may not only be caused by overextension and injury but by internal forces that are possibly symptomatic of deeper health conditions that may be chronic and/or need immediate professional medical treatment. Often muscle spasms within the rib cage area are benign and caused by external forces such as injury. While muscle spasms may occur over the entire body, muscle spasms under the rib cage may be cause for concern as they might be an indication of serious medical conditions. Muscle spasms can occur across the entire body and are caused by a variety of things, from hyperactivity and fatigue to dehydration and ion imbalances. Muscle spasms, also known as “ Charlie Horses,” are the enemy to anyone wishing to have a healthy, active lifestyle. Not only are they painful, they can interfere with daily activities such as walking, running, eating, and relaxing.
