Suggest Medication For Muscle Spasms Around The Ribs

I had what I thought was severe muscle spasms around by ribs. I felt like I had gas , pain in my upper abdomen all the way through to my back. My blood pressure was 196/95. It lasted about 4 hours. Then it went away. What can you take for muscle spasms like this? Normally my blood pressure is 124/73. This is the 4th time this has happened in the last couple of months.

dear
the transient high blood pressure with pain in chest cannot be left alone without a investigation.
Had I been your treating doc,i would have advised for an ECG along with some blood parameters like lipid profile.
please don't neglect it and have it clinically investigated.
however a normal acidity or bloating may cause chest discomfort,but may or may not be associated with such rise in no.

hope this helps
