If You've Often Been Told It's 'All in Your Head'

의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD

If you've often been told it's "all in your head," that symptom may be a real signal your autonomic nervous system is sending.

Dizziness, palpitations, and indigestion that tests don't catch are not because your body is lazy or overly sensitive. When the regulatory function is shaken, these symptoms really do appear.

Multiple tests all come back normal
Yet the symptoms are clearly there and keep recurring

I don't brush these symptoms off lightly. Because not showing up on a test does not mean it isn't there.

Dr. Dr. Heo Ji-young, Director of Kyunghee Meerae Korean Medicine Clinic, Gwangjin

Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD

A graduate of the College of Korean Medicine at Kyung Hee University, with master's and doctoral degrees in pathology — the mechanisms of disease — from its graduate school. Later served as a research professor in the university's Herbology department, studying medicinal substances. Studying both disease and medicine from both sides is the foundation of this practice: explaining "why a given medicine works for a given illness" in the language of both pathology and pharmacology. Explains autonomic, chronic, and intractable conditions — and structural problems of the body — in the language of modern science, and proposes treatment matched to the cause. Has taught prescribing and clinical practice to Korean medicine doctors for over ten years, and is a co-author of "Korean Medicine, Explained by Korean Medicine Doctors," selected for the 2018 Sejong Books list (general category).
