What is wrong with me?!! How can this all be anxiety.

I'm 23 years old and for the past 19 years I have been ill. When I say ill I refer to vomiting daily, constant stomach upsets including constipation and diarrhea, stabbing pains in my chest area (right hand side) feeling like I can't breathe. Continually bloating (every minute of everyday) pains and aches everywhere all the time. And the worst passing out every time it gets hot, I have to stand up for more than 5 minutes or anything that involves exercise.

I have had several thousands of tests Inc colonoscopy gastric time testing.tilt tests.sweat tests.blood test galore yet to no avail.

Apparently it's all in my head though I had a very good upbringing loving family yet as at 4 I started passing out. 10 I started vomiting and it's all going downhill from there. For what reason would a 4 year old start passing out from anxiety???? I find this an irrational diagnosis. I did manage to discover I have endometriosis last year which is another pain entirely almost intolerable.

I've lost friends. Jobs. Hobbies. And countless moments of my life to something I can't even give a name.

I just want to know what's wrong with me.

Dr's. Specialists. Naturopaths. Kinesiologist. Witch doctors.chiros. you name it. I'm at my last straw here :(

This is my issue I am 23 I should not need to take daily buscopan for life and I have nothing to be anxious about. I'm going to try the alternative route as I have seen countless specialists and gPs to no avail. I also have had colonoscopy and no diagnosis of IBS as I have unrelated symptoms ie vomiting daily and fainting but thank you for your reply
