I have been suffering with "somataform disorder" for way too long now. I've always had anxiety that sometimes manifested itself as stomach pains, etc. However, I now have nausea, stomach pain and chest pains on an almost daily basis. I have tried many treatments (therapy, medications, biofeedback, etc.) but none have really helped. Yes, I have been checked out by a family doctor. I'm pretty darn healthy. I can honestly say this is ruining my life. I'm only 32--and I am at a loss as to what I can do next.
Help?

You don't say whether you have seen a psychiatrist. If it is indeed Somataform Disorder, I would go that route.

Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, I have been to a psychiatrist (actual, a couple) and a psychologist. I've tried every SSRI know to mankind. I'm pretty darn anxious. It takes 15mg of valium to even relax me slightly-- if this gives you a good indication. I'm kind of at a loss... Should I get a CAT scan? Psychiatrist seem toalso be at a loss...
