I think cramps occur in muscles not organs.

Do you mean cramp around the rib muscles?

I get it quite a lot and have no idea why. Suddenly can't sit up straight. It's quite odd and usually comes on if I reach to get something and am at a bit of an angle. Bizarre

I get shooting pain all across my bottom rib. I also have a clicky rib if i move at the wrong angle. I've been told it's to do with my ribs not being properly bone yet. I still have cartillage where bone should be. It's growing though

I also get bad muscle cramps in my chest, I've been to a+e a few times with them, as they really take my breath away.

I get cramps in my lungs when I have a bad cough and its usually under my rib cage. I get these spasms which are agonising where my muscles are contacting and sort of concave in for minutes at a time. The pain usually has me in tears and the best way to relive it is to stretch my torso as straight as possible.

I too also think it might be sometimes related to salt deficancy as it happens in summer months mostly, but I really dont know. I am on salt tablets too.

It completley baffles me why it happens.
