Health anxiety or something more?

About a year ago I suffered from a panic attack, I thought I was having a heart attack. Since that day I have been having weird vision issues like I am drunk or cannot focus, I got my eyes tested and they were all good. My most concerning symptom is that I get weird feelings in my legs from the knees down, they twitch and ache and when I wake up they feel as if Im recovering from a run or something. Sometimes they have felt numb but all the feeling is there, I just don’t get it. I was checked for my heart multiple times and had a scan, everything was clear. My problem is that I never actually feel anxious, I do worry there is something wrong with me but I haven’t had another panic attack, palpitations or anything. It’s really making me depressed but doctors just seem to fob me off, they don’t even test anything. Has anyone else had similar experiences with these numbing aches and pains?
