Anxiety again?

I am soooooooooo worried, I am taking 50 mgs of zoloft for almost 4 years now, I thought that this was the cure  for all my
anxiety. 2 months ago i started with aterrible eye pain, my doc. says its from anxiety, I dont believe how eye pain could be a symptom of anxiety,,, and a week ago I started with weak legs,and today I satrted with headache.
My doctor says to keep my med as it is and to calm down,,,,, so easy to say
What do you think?

I dont think there is a place on my body that I has not hurt during my nine years of  torment.
I have had eye pain, ear pain, head pain, neck pain, you name it. I would get so mad, when  I would go to the doc and they would always same the same thing, ANXIETY. I would get so upset.... I mean, I didnt want anything to be wrong with me, but I just couldnt graps that what I was dealing with was just all in my head.... The physical symptoms are real, but its are mind, that is making them come on us... The faster you can except that what you have is anxiety, and quit fearing all those pains, which I know is not easy, then the faster they will go away...Right now I feel a painic attack coming on, I have not had a reall painic attack in a couple of years, but I have that mind set, but I am not scared, because I know fear feeds it,, and I know whats I have it, I will be fine.. It is scary and I dont want to go thorugh it, but if I do, I do...
The hardest thing for us to do, is to not fear the symptoms.
IT can be done,,, I have relasp alot, but then there are alot of time, I dont fear it....
Good luck,,
