Your symptoms do not appear to localize to any particular organ system.These are psychogenic or somatic in nature.
Don't worry,there is nothing serious about them.Start doing regular mental relaxation exercise like meditation/yoga or just daily jogging/weight training,and I'm sure your symptoms will improve in a short span of time.
