Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have mentioned multiple problems you are suffering from. First of all I would like to know are all these diagnosis been told by a doctor to you? If yes, what investigations you did to confirm the diagnosis? Did those investigation if done at all confirmed these diagnosis or all came normal? As your doctors are saying that it’s all in your head that means all investigations must have come normal. There are high chances you are suffering from hypochondriasis or somatization disorder. You need to consult a psychiatrist for this. You may require low dose of Risperidone or Pimozide. This medicine will definitely help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Prashant Gohil
