Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Your description of symptoms suggest a condition called hypochondriasis. Individuals develop this condition for various reasons. However it can be debilitating. Hence you must consult Psychiatrist without delay for assessment and appropriate treatment/support. Best wishes.
