Is it all just anxiety? Even Smelling things that arn't there.

Hey everyone, my name is Max. My backround; I took an alka selzter to relieve some stomach pain and immedietly felt a pain in my right chest and coughed/spit up some pink spit/bloody spit. My room mate told me to go to the hospital, they did a CT scan of my espohagus and found nothing wrong there...but gave me news that they found a partial block in my lungs (blood clot). Doctors gave me a blood thinner immedietly and admited me. Upon further testing we found no such clot - but to follow up with a gastroenterologist and pulmonologist. An echo cardigram found I have pulmonary hypertension (another appointment in two days) - blood was found in my stool and my urine. A colonoscopy and edoscopy revealed some serious acid reflux and gerd which has been eroding my esophagus. 

Other symptoms, I feel like I'm shaking at night when apparently I'm not. I've been waking up every night for about 2 months now at 2:00 am and falling asleep after about an hour. I occasionally wake up smelling severe smells that arn't there. And for the past month I've had a dull on and off pain in my lower left abdomen that shifts to the right, but usually stays on the left. Also I have very recently begun getting stinging head aches. 

I am in doc appointment after appointment getting tests done and so far, nothing other than what I told you above.

Some family has told me that the aches and pains could be anxiety, but I also have real symptoms...pulmonary hyper tension, blood in my stool and my urine. It's all very intimidating, maybe I'm asking for support, I don't quite know. But this feeling is awful, and I don't want to feel like I'm dying, or getting some awful disease.
