My brother recently (3 days ago) had a combination pace maker and defribulator installed. He has had sever chest muscle spasms and has had difficulty sleeping. He went back to the ER and they assured hime the pain was not heart related but just muscle spasms. How long will these muscle spasms last and is there any treatment for them?

Thanks for writing to us.
In your case i would like to have a EKG done at the first hand and consult the cardiologist.If the pacemaker is properly working,its better not to worry.
For the muscle spasm you can tjke analgesic like paracetamol or ibuprofen or any other muscle relaxants.
