Suffering from what doctors are saying is "Just anxiety". Are they right?

So here's the story....its kind of long so bare with me.

On new years day I started getting sick with a stomach bug. I was having issues for about 3 days then they started to get better.

However....my stomach problems never fully went away, and since then over the course of the month I have developed a lot more symptoms which includes-

Chest pain, pain in my lungs, stomach discomfort/gurgling, nausea, no appetite, heart palpitations, when I go to sleep at night (it happens sometimes when I'm awake too) I get cold and clammy (especially in my chest, between my shoulderblades, and lower back part of my head), when this happens i get cold sweats and nausea, my ears hurt, i feel like i cant breath right and also like I struggle to breath and take deep breaths, my heart feels like its struggling to beat, I get warm feelings in my stomach and chest, burning and squeezing in my chest, and i feel these symptoms almost all day everyday.

I have random bouts of feeling like I am going to pass out. I have no energy, I've been out of work for weeks. I haven't been able to eat enough in the past month. I've lost a good amount of weight. Was 108 am now around 95.

I'm scared and anxious everyday because I feel like I'm dying. I've been to the doctor, they've done ekg, chest b-day, blood tests (cardiac, cbc, and thyroid), I've had numerous physical exams (listening to my heart and lungs etc) and everything they say has come back normal.

Every doctor has diagnosed me with anxiety. I feel like no one takes me seriously and I'm scared of the way I feel. I'm afraid the doctors have missed something..

Do you think that all of these symptoms truly can be caused by anxiety?

I am on Prozac (the generic form) and have been for about a week. No results from it so far.

Also a bit of background info, I have celiac disease and there is a possibility that I may have been getting traces of gluten in some of the foods I've been eating over time.

I just don't know what to think anymore. I was pretty okay before new years...

Hi Melody. It does sound like anxiety, and Yano I have it so bad I feel the same that Drs don't take me seriously either. He listens but I feel as if it isn't going it cos he just says contact these and take these. I used to be on Prozac. It saved me from acting upon a silly move. It takes up to 6weeks to really get in your system. I'm now on citalopram. And I'm struggling. I don't leave my flat. I know I go through this, but it really hurts me that someone else is.

May I add, any dr what says its "just" anxiety, change ASAP. Yano I really F hate it when ppl say that..... Oh ok it's just anxiety, I'll suffer shall I. 

My dr listens to me. But I feel as if I'm doing his heading I visit him that often. And I don't know if it's just me being paranoid, or if he gives off that signal
