ANXIETY ? LET'S MAKE A LIST OF SYMPTOMS AND TESTS TAKEN TO HELP EVERYONE.

Reading everyone's concerns on this message board (along with my concerns) I thought it might be a good experiment(and a helpful reference guide for everyone) to list ALL the symptoms they have had and ALL the tests that have come back normal and ALL the specialists they have seen that have concluded that it was all anxiety. If you can put it in a LIST FORM with no back story so it is easy to reference that would be great. The idea here is that we can help eachother by revealing the range of symptoms that anxiety can produce ... this might ease all of our minds and help us get back to the life we were intended to live ... HAPPY and HEALTHY : )
Here is my list:

SYMPTOMS:
FATIGUE
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
FOGGY HEAD, CONCENTRATION PROBLEMS
FREQUENT URINATION
PINS AND NEEDLES FEELING
IMBALANCE WHILE WALKING
HEAVY HEAD
PAIN BEHIND THE EYES
COLD TOES/COLD FINGERS
PALPITATIONS
SOME SHAKINESS/CLUMSINESS
FLOATERS IN VISION

TESTS TAKEN THAT CAME BACK NORMAL:
ECHOCARDIOGRAM
EKG
BRAIN MRI
EYE EXAM
EAR EXAM
EMERGENCY ROOM EKG
4 BLOOD TESTS
STANDARD PHYSICAL

DOCTORS/SPECIALISTS I'VE SEEN WHO SAY IT'S ALL ANXIETY RELATED:
MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR
NEUROLOGIST
NUTRITIONIST
THERAPIST
CARDIOLOGIST
EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR
PSYCHIATRIST (FRIEND)

Muscles twitch a lot

those are all my symptoms and I've never had them before. My body started to react like this after i started to smoke weed. At first i thought  it was heart problems (heart attack) then i went to the er and all my tests came out good (blood, xray, and ekg) and they told me to go to the cardiologist and my heart was fine. all the symptoms went way for a about 2 wen weeks and came back again 1 week and a half ago out of the blue and its really been interfering with my relationship and social life.

Problems started 2 1/2 weeks after gallbladder removal (January 2014).   I have this constant suffocation feeling everyday that seems to calm down when I go to sleep at night.  My head feels like it's in a fog (at times), sometimes feel I'm breathing in very cold air which results in a soreness feeling in the throat. Sometimes I get tightness in the upper abdomen, tightness in the sternum.   The breathing issue is the biggest thing.  I'm 55 years old and never had a problem with anxiety until after the surgery.  Pulmonologist's testing shows everything is normal, Echocardiogram shows no heart or artery problems.  My doctor is having me see a cardiologist for further consultation and probably more testing...just to be sure.  I suspect she thinks I got hit with a major anxiety attack, I believe the pulmonologist thinks the same thing.  I'm seeing a counsellor early May.
