Almost every patient with stress related mental health problems reports at least one somatic symptom and 45 per cent report six symptoms or more, according to a Swedish study of 228 patients suffering from what is termed as exhaustion disorder.
Here is the chart run down of the most common symptoms:
Almost all: Tiredness and low energy
67% Nausea, gas and indigestion
65% Headaches
57% Dizziness
Men and women reported the same number of symptoms.
Chest pain and sexual problems and pain during sex were more reported in men.
Pain in the arms, legs, joints, knees, hips reported more in the over 40s.
The more severe the mental health problem the higher the number of somatic symptoms.
