Ask your Doctor if you could be suffering from anxiety and stress, as it is well catalogued that this disorder can have Physical symptoms and this may be what is happening to you, you do sound stressed and probably you may be able to get some help.I am sorry that this Forum isnt having anyone respond , try one of the other Doctor ,expert forums.
