Welcome to HCM!
After reading your question I can see that you have multiple physical problems and your doctor think it is anxiety.
Well , your doctor may be completely right, but to pin point the diagnosis one has to confirm it.
You have not written in query, but it would help in deciding in flavour of anxiety if -
1. you have some ongoing stress when all this started
2. if you remain anxious/ or are an anxious person most if the time
3. if you are the one who worries a lot about ones health usually
4. if there are other symptoms , like anxiety sadness, restlessness, breathing difficulties --without obvious cause
So, please check the above points , and if your routine test are normal, please go ahead with what your doctor prescribes you. It would surely help you.
