Multiple Somatic Complaints:
Diagnostic Approach
(Field Guide to Bedside Diagnosis)
This presentation is marked by multiple vague complaints, symptoms out of proportion to the physical findings, symptoms outside the anticipated spectrum of the organic disease, and symptoms that do not follow anatomic distributions. The patient is often more concerned with the physician accepting authenticity of symptoms than relieving them. Vague, diffuse descriptions or overly detailed and elaborate symptoms are suggestive. The patient seems to be amplifying normal bodily sensations. Psychological factors may be revealed in the symbolic choice of words (e.g., “lump in the throat”).
“Stress” for most patients is an acceptable framework within which to obtain psychological information. Care must be taken during the interview not to suggest that the symptoms are “all in the head.”
A thorough and thoughtful history and physical examination are the basis for chosing specific diagnostic tests, and signal to the patient that the complaints are being taken seriously.
