Ice it.
Advil it.
Baby it.
Only thing that gets me through, and yes, feels like....death on a plate.

That seems to be a frequent post I think all fibro sufferS get it
Just rest up alternate heat and ice like suggested above
I been there also thinking it was my heart and it waSnt
It will pass and it will reoccur again so next time you will know
Hope if ends soon

When I have my attacks, I also ice it. Strange as it sounds but it helps.
I will also stand in the shower under the hottest water I can tolerate for as long as I can. This intense heat seems to help.

And I can only take tylenol. I wrecked my stomach years ago with high doses of ibuprofen.
