There is a high likelihood that you are having hypochondriasis. It is a condition in which one is hypervigilant about their health and thinks of small bodily concerns also as something major and catastrophic. It's important for you to start psychiatric medications to deal with anxiety and psychotherapy to deal with these thoughts.

Seems like it may be health anxiety (hypochondria) or somatoform disorder (worried about health with or without symptoms).
First, you need to consult with a Psychologist. If your physical test result is showing normal definitely you are going with a psychological issue.
Next Steps
seek professional help. Psychotherapy treatment and exposure therapy.
