Hoping someone may be able to help, I feel so fed up and down and unsure of what else to do.

Ive suffered anxiety on and off for years with panic attacks. Id got to a point of being able to control the attacks but about 6 months ago I started feeling quite poorly, after a lot of tests ive been incorrectly diagnosed with a hiatial hernia, gerd, potential gallstones, referred pain. No medications worked in relation to these. I ended up going to a and e as chest pains were so severe I thought I was having a heart attack, after more tests and a scan and a gastroscopy I was told I had 2 kidney stones but that they were too small to cause discomfort, ive recently been told I have costochondritis, ive signed up for relaxation therapy, but chest pains and the fear of dying because of a heart condition come daily now and I just feel at a loose end, I feel so scared...can these feelings really just be pain caused from anxiety??
