Mix of different symptoms - Need Help
A little over a month ago I engaged in unprotected sex with a female( I'm male) and a few days after I started getting a burning sensation in the penis tip, testicular pain, urge to urinate more and random sharp pains. A few weeks later I then started getting a tightness and pain in my chest and what feels like a lump in my throat ( not painful just inflammed).
I went to a sex clinic and they ruled out std, thrush, uti. They said we see this all the time, you had unprotected sex and then started getting random symptoms. I was told that this is all just anxiety and in my head.
Thinking they can't be right I went to my family gp and he said the exact same thing- anxiety. The reason being the array of different symptoms I am getting aren't related to any disease etc based on my situation.
I was told give it a few weeks, try to relax etc and the symptoms should just fade away. However I feel like I am getting worse rather than better, I did feel better after the gp said it is just anxiety but now feel worse.
Sorry for the long winded message but based on what I have said does it sound like anything serious or is it all 'in my head'? I know it's Xmas but any responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick responses, I also think it most likely is anxiety due to the vast array of different symptoms, and it is true when I am preoccupied I don't feel any pain and it does worsen when I think about it or make the dumb mistake of looking online and try self diagnosing!
Hoping they do just pass with time.

a cheap over the counter product AZO sold everywhere will help the urinary symptoms.They will probably tell you you have a kidney stone as well.Check out Hulda Clark products.
It sounds like it is all in your head as you put it. I agree with your gp and who ever you talked to at the sex clinic. The symptoms are so different I would find it hard to believe that it is related to having unprotected sex.Try and relax and enjoy the holidays, also remember cover the boy before you use it as a toy.
