I am wondering which actually hurts worst, the emotional or the physical. A headache can disappear in couple minutes to hours even without medicine. Breakups are deeply rooted. Physical and emotional medicine are needed. Sometimes after the heartache and physical scars heal and leave, that feeling of rejection lingers on for the rest of lives.
In the end though, if some Tylenol can help ease some of it, pass me a pill. The emotional can be dealt with time.
I'm still reading these studies, they began in 2009 but there's been many experiments.
If the pill can ease the initial physically pain, you can focus on the emotional- and can do things to slowly ease that while not having the physical in your face overpowering...
