Behandling av hjertearytmi

Hvis du har fått diagnostisert arytmi (hjerterytmeforstyrrelse), kan behandling noen ganger være nødvendig. Vanligvis er behandling bare nødvendig hvis arytmien gir klare plager, eller hvis den medfører risiko for at du skal få en alvorligere arytmi eller en komplikasjon til arytmi.

Asperger syndrom

Asperger syndrom gir seg vanligvis tilkjenne fra rundt treårsalderen, men en må som regel vente til barnet er i skolealder før det er mulig å stille en sikker diagnose.

Fibromyalgi

Fibromyalgi betegnes som et smertesyndrom - en samling med symptomer og tegn. Årsaken er ukjent.

Allergi

Allergivaksinering

Allergivaksinering, eller hyposensibilisering, kan brukes når du har en allergi som er vanskelig å kontrollere med medisiner. Tidligere ble vaksinen kun gitt som sprøyter, men nå brukes oftere dråper eller tabletter.
