DOnt have any carbs, water will make it worse as well and milk sometimes can have the opposite effect.

Go to bed and prop yourself up with about 5 pillows behind your head and upper back. Put the tv on if you have one and try and take your mind of it. THis has worked for me int he past. I am really feeling for you as it is awful. Hope it goes away soon.

I have some mylantas on my bedside table. Wish I could take you one now!
