hi there,
today it´s my first visit to ch.com.
i´m suffering now for one year.
what perfectly helped me is a med called "verapamil" here in germany, where i live.
it is a "calciumanthagonist", the stuff in it is "verapamilhydrochlorid".
it is normally given to lower high blood pressure.
you start with 1 tab (80mg) on the first two days, then 2 tabs for the next 2 days, from then on you take 3 tabs (240mg) a day.
from the second day i took 3 tabs it was totally gone !
no more attacks since then. no side effects so far. i´m taking this med about 8 months now.
hope i could help a little bit.
good luck
