Hello Alison and thanks for posting your question. It is hard to determine whether medication is necessary for your situations. In almost all instances, doctors are making recommendations based upon educated infomraiton about you and your total health status.
My recommendation is that if you are not comfortable with what you doctor is telling you, first discuss this with him or her. Then you should consider another opinion. In any case, if you feel you are in en emergency situation, don't hesitate to call 911 or get to the nearest ER for examination.
All the best, sue
