What is the treatment of psychosomatic(headache&chest pressure for years)?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Psychosomatic: symptoms by definition are those produced by the mind. Although actually felt by the body and therefore real, they are not caused by an organic disease. Therefore, they can't be treated by a medication. The only way to get rid of them is to treat the underlying psychiatric illness which causes the symptoms. Seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist for cognitive behavioral therapy may be of use.
