Hi
Sandy, I can feel how overwhelmed you are. You’ve been carrying your father’s illness, financial pressure, health fears, and a negative home atmosphere all at once. Anyone in your place would feel exhausted and depressed. Your worries about bodily sensations and fear of serious illness do sound like health anxiety (hypochondria) mixed with real life stress.
Its like a mental overload sandy
A combination of therapy (CBT for health anxiety and depression) and a doctor’s evaluation for sleep/medication if needed can help you recover.
Next Steps
Please don’t go through this alone. Early treatment works, and you can get back your energy and peace of mind.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

There are multiple reasons behind the state of your mind. Physical symptoms are psychosomatic.
But be hopeful, this condition is curable by psychotherapy. Consult a psychologist and take sessions, you will be alright.
