I am a 41 year old female. The cramps I have are right below the breasts (in the middle) and go down to about 3+ inches above the navel and feel like a leg cramp only worse because of the area where they occur.
The area gets very hard and feels all knotted up. It's not hard to breath but very painful until the cramp recedes and then the area is sore for a while.
My father suffers from these cramps also.
Any idea of what causes them, what might cure them, how to keep them from happening?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Bananas don't help and quinine sulfate doens't work very fast. I drink plenty of fluids also.

Yes, I have pain similar to this. It turned out that what I was dealing with is an inflammatory condition called costochondritis. Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartillage around the ribcage.
It can make one think that there is something wrong with the lungs although there isn't.
I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they think could be going on.
