Hypoxia and Medicine

Unexplained Symptoms -- Medical professionals, PLEASE answer.?

I am female, 16 years of age, with muscle pain, sickness, and malaise. There is a dry, stuffy nose, but it is not runny and I do not have traditional symptoms of the common cold. My muscle pain includes a sort of heaviness, tenderness, and achiness around my chest (mainly left side), arms, and shoulders. I have been to the ER, through which urine samples, an EKG, bloodwork, and chest X-rays have been determined as normal. I have some coughing, with occasional phlegm (but it is almost always a dry cough) and some throat problems which make swallowing a little difficult, and discourage me from eating sometimes, and previously, from drinking much as well, as it is strange, and feels like nothing wants to go down my throat, but this is not stomach-related. There is occasionally stomach upset, which feels like an eruption and I must hastily proceed to my bathroom, and my stool is cloudy when passed and is extremely soft, crumbly, yet is not diarrhea and does not hurt my anal region as diarrhea would, and the painful desire to expel my bowels does not return after it is passed. These symptoms I am experiencing are intermittent, and interfere with my quality of living. I am depressed, anxious, and concerned for my health, and have even broke down crying and often go into a sort of panic mode, where I pace around, frightened. I have had breathing difficulties (in which I was having to breathe heavy) and chest pressure, and there was simply nothing determined to be wrong with me. My muscles in my shoulders are very tense. I sometimes have a very weird feeling in my respiratory tract which cannot be localized, and I feel I must lie in bed. I am very weak, fatigued, and a little dizzy. There is pain in my legs as well, and sometimes on the sides of my stomach. My pains are NOT sharp. I have a headache, and generally just don't feel right. I have gone to my family doctor as well, and again, there was nothing perceivably wrong with me. I am profoundly unnerved when they dismiss me, hoping my age is not a factor. This is certainly NOT stress, although I have been sent home, with medical professionals claiming it was probably stress. Often, a symptom predominates all others. I am very afraid. I do not know what to do, and feel as though I have no control of what happens to me, health-wise. I was a bit dehydrated when I went to Emergency, but all they told me was to increase fluid intake. I have an irregular heartbeat, but this runs in my family and I've had it since birth. I don't know how much more I can take. This condition went away for a while, and has returned once again. Is it serious, and what am I supposed to do? This condition is seriously destroying my life.

1. Sounds like Hypochondriasis (and I'm not joking.)with a touch of anxiety to me. Sorry. I hope you get it taken care of.
