I have an unknown illness, what is it?

Kind of a weird and long story, but one night I went to a movie theatre and ate a little too much, I got the normal gas/heartburn feeling but thought it would go away, after a while I felt like I was having a heart attack but it wasn't, it was gas rising along with a panic attack. I went to the doctor and she gave me pills for an infected throat, but for almost 3 years ever since I have had bloating in the upper stomach affecting my breathing, headaches, and heavy eyes along with sleeping all the time/feeling sleepy when I'm awake. I've been to 3 doctors who ran tests and just say I have anxiety/mental disorder which I know it's not. I was 13 when this happened and I'm now 16 so I just my life back at this point. If ANYONE out there has this or knows what this is please let me know.

Also I do have panic attacks because I'm scared whatever this is, is going to kill me, other then that my mental health is fine. I think it's some kind of gastro problem?

  Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.

Sorry you are having these issues with no answers.....but we can not tell you what is wrong just from your symptoms....you need to see another Dr and make sure testing is done to see just what might be causing your symptoms.
