So confused

Our daughter has in the last month started feeling like she has a variety of health issues. It all started with headaches and burning in the head. From there she has had thoat problems feeling like her muscles in her throat are not working properly. Chest pains, rib discomfort. As well as other things, she is OCD but has never had any hypocondra in the past. She has completly disconnected from everything in her life from friends to school to living in general. We have had her at the Dr. 4 times and the ER 3 times in the last month they really can't find anything so far. She is totally convinced there is something wrong and no matter what they say she still thinks there is a problem. We have gotten her with a psycologist and he has met with her 6 times in the last few weeks he thinks it is anxiety brought on by a plan to move away to college next year. She discounts this saying she is really excited about it but that she's scared something is wrong and they are not finding it. We don't know what to think anymore or what to do. Any suggestions please.
