Several times a year i get this symptom: sudden tight, squeezed front + bottom ribs, lasting 15 min. or sometimes only 3 min, radiating up through throat, or not even radiating, just the ribs and throat. Sudden, makes me say "ow, ow", always the same, and i know it will be short.

Is this the "spasm" that people talk about? I forget, is it a symptom of babs or bart? It's hard to search on, since i don't even know what to call it, if it's a "spasm" or not.

Thanks for answers!

Hey hey pa...

I can't say for sure and I am not a doctor... but it does sound like a spasm.

I get LOTS of spasms... and yes I agree.. ow ow.

It is sharp enough to make you not want to move for a while after it happens.. cause you are afraid it will happen again.

Are your magnesium and calcium levels ok? They often have a lot to do with muscle spasms.

Good it only happens a few times a year... cause it isn't fun... for sure!

PS... I associated muscle spasms with babesia. But nothing offical on that.

That sounds like the spasms I get in my diaphragm.

Makes it hard to draw in a good breath?

Babesia for me.
