Q:

How will my doctor decide if I need a pacemaker?

A:

If you have concerns about your heart rhythm, visit your physician to address this. Your physician may choose to record your heart rhythm, with an ECG, and may ask you to wear a heart recording device for 24 hours in order to determine if you have some rhythm disturbance. If your heart rhythm is too fast, you may be prescribed medication to lower it, or you may require a pacemaker if your heart rhythm is too slow.

Q:

What medications are used for chronic pain?

A:

There are a few classes of drugs used to treat chronic pain. One of them is analgesics, to provide pain relief. These range from acetaminophen all the way up to heavier pain control agents. Some antidepressants are useful in relieving chronic pain, and anticonvulsants may be used to treat nerve-related pain. Finally, a class of medications called cannabinoids, which may include medicinal marijuana, is sometimes used to control pain. You should speak with your doctor if you have questions about your pain management plan.
