Can anxiety cause this?

For the past month,I've had so many symptoms. I've had shortness of breath,body aches,shakiness,lightheadedness, muscle weakness,paranoid,irritatable, nerve pain in neck,arms,and head, headaches,short periods(3 days),mild depression,suicidal thoughts,neck stiffness,eye pain,occasional blurry vision,facial stiffness,breast pain,abdominal pain,and feeling tense. I've been diagnosed with panic disorder and somatic disorder. I have gone to therapy,and I plan to get a physical exam soon. But I've been having these odd symptoms and I'm really worried that some thing serious is happening. Can anxiety cause all of these symptoms,even when I'm not feeling anxious?

Yes I would definitely get an exam very soon.  A lot of your symptoms are the same symptoms I get with anxiety,  and yes it will cause symptoms even when you don't feel anxious. I get all besides the breadth pain,  suicidal thoughts, and facial stiffness.  
I'm not sure whether or not those are symptoms of anxiety.  I guess they could be for some people but that's definitely something to talk to your doctor about.  Especially if you're having suicidal thoughts.
