Hi,
First, a diagnosis is necessary. You may wish to ask your doctor for a referral to another type of specialist since there could be any number of things going on to cause these symptoms requiring either lab testing or imaging studies.
Also, you could be suffering from an excessive amount of stress and anxiety since your symptoms are so distant and apparently disconnected from each other.
In the interim and until you have a better diagnosis you could try implementing deep breathing and/or relaxation techniques to lower stress levels and improve oxygen and blood circulation throughout the body and see if this has a positive effect instead of medication. But first, the diagnosis of what's causing these symptoms needs to be made.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
