Somatoform disorder: Cardiac Neurosis.
Pak Armed Forces Med J Jan ;50(1):48-50.

Cardiac neurosis is a frequently encountered form of somatisation, well known for its high prevalence in Armed Forces personnel and females. This common form of somatisation is dramatic and often devastating in its presentation, therefore, resulting in uncalled for referral to cardiologists, extensive, investigations and admissions at tertiary care hospitals. This greatly increases health care costs in terms of professional manhours. The management of the condition at the primary health care (MI ROOM) level is recommended with guidelines for doctors and their clients.
