Severe muscle spasms in my shoulder blades, ribs, and upper abdominal areas. is there a disease or condition that would cause this. im not dehydrated?

Mineral deficient: You are probably deficient in magnesium and / or potassium. Drink two to three large glasses of V-8 juice or equivalent daily till the muscle spasms are gone.
