Suggest Remedy For Mid Back Muscle Spasms While Sleeping

I am 54 and have been waking up in the middle of the night with spasms int the mid portion of my back that takes my breath away and can last for several seconds before lightening up. But can re occur multiple times. Certain movements such as the way I roll over seem to set it up. Any thoughts on a cause? Do I need an X-ray or massage or exercises to strengthen core?
