I get the same kind of attacks almost every night now and it's been really frustrating, I haven't yet found anything that helps it stop.... Just want to make sure you know your not alone and if I do ever find some relief I will share it with you for sure!!!

I tried it but I didn't realize it has Sulfa in it n I'm allergic to it! So I quit ASAP!
