Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
From the description that you have given it appears that you are probably not having any kind of physical illness. With the kind of symptoms that you are suggesting and with all the tests coming normal it is very unlikely that there is any physical reason behind your problems.
Please try to understand that I am not suggesting that you are making up the symptoms. It may seem strange to you but yes it is possible that you might be having some psychological issues behind these symptoms.
You should visit a Psychiatrist who would like to evaluate in detail. Some times depressive disorders can present with such physical complains.
In that case you should start on an antidepressant course for 5-6 months. If you improve then probably it was a depression.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:

Wish you good health,
