Lately I've gotten a ton of muscle cramps I think an abnormally large number, any ideas on how to stop them?

Question:

I'm talking about the ones you get in your ribs, or jst below, or in your toes or calves, where your muscle kinda constricts and its really hard to get it to relax... I had like 3 in one day last saturday! I know the rib area ones make it hurt really badly when I breath, they scare the crap out of me. I can always stretch um out after a minute or 2, but they hurt so badly, and I'm ussually sore for a few days after!

What's causing them? Electrolytes being out of balance? (I drink lots of water) What can I do to prevent more? Thanks!

Answers:
It could be your electrolytes out of balance. If you drink a lot of water and no Gatorade or anything like that you could be causing the imbalance. Try to eat a banana a day and drink a glass of orange juice before bed.
