anxiety and fear never leaves

Hi, im new here. Just want some help. So im a 28 yr old male, who has suffered with anxiety in the past. about 6 months ago, i started to feel like something wasn't right. I was getting persistent low back pain, which I was getting treated for from work. But nothing was helping, and after a while the doc I was seeing for my back pain, took me off workcover and said I must have a neurological disorder. So i went home and googled it and Well to say ive been living in hell since that day would be an understatement. All these horrible diseases came up which I believed I had.  I didnt sleep for 4 days after and went to hospital because my body was on constant alert and It would not shut off. They gave me some tabs and got some much needed sleep. But since this time ive been living in constant fear. Ive been getting twitches,  fasciculations all over my body as soon as I stop moving, tremors like im freezing cold, muscle tension and tightness to  the point that I can barely move certain areas of my body, severe jaw pain like im going to pass out blurry vision and alot of weakness. Now ive had every blood test known to man, my muscles are 99% saturated (what ever that means) had mri on my spine, ive had nerve conduction studies done on both legs and arms I had a ct scan of my head and nothing has shown up apart from blocked  sinuses from the ct scan and a minor bulge in between l4 and l5 of my spine which isnt affecting my spinal cord. Ive seen numerous docs and no one can explain whats going on. Imseeing a psychologist shortly but every day is a nightmare. Im afraid to move out of bed because then the symptoms start and then comes the fear. Sorry for the essay but im practically at my wits end. Any replies would be appreciated

There are psychosomatic symptoms that can cause your pain.Mind creates the idea..and then the brain believes you are in pain and send the message to your nerves.You are really in pain..its not in your mind...but I think that maby the cause of your pain is in your mind.I think you should see a therapyst and try to delete those thoughs..see if the pain stops..and if it does not stop then you would really know that this is due to some physical problem and doctors can focus on other things.I hope that you are going to feel better.Good luck. :)
