What Causes Spasms In The Chest And Back?

I have had cramping/spasms front and back in my lateral chest area for 9 months. I have been to my primary doctor, ER, numerous blood work, heart doctor, stress test done, wore heart monitor for 2 weeks, had cat scan, went to digestive doctor, had CT calcium screening done, Ultra sound , MRI, had colonoscopy and endoscopy done, gall bladder removed (had three gall stones in it), Video Capsule Endoscopy done, X-Rays, CT Enterography. After all that, I am still having cramps/spasms. I have cut out caffeine and have been trying to figure out if a certain type of food could be causing this. It doesn t happen every day, usually once or twice a week and it usually lasts all day or into the night. I have to sleep propped up on pillows when the pain is present, I can t lay on either side or flat on my back.

Hello,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
