I am sorry to hear that you have such upsetting symptoms. It is difficult to make a diagnosis via the internet. It would be best if you began trying to resolve these problems by consulting your GP. You need a complete physical investigation before you begin looking at psychological causes. Once the GP has done the blood tests etc, she/he can refer you to a psychologist and/or a psychiatrist for further assessment and treatment. I hope this answer is helpful to you.
