Wierd Symptoms For Months !!! I NEED ADVICE !!!

Since August I have been feeling really really weird.  Went to the doctors and it started out as they say a sinus infection.  Gave me anitbiotics for it, I was getting bad pressure in my front part of my head and really dizzy.  Then the next day it was really hard for me to breathe, like air constriction feeling.  Dr. thought if could be walking pnemonia too and the med he gave me would take care of it.  A Week later the breathing got better and still real dizzy off and on.  This same month my girlfriend had two grandparents die and she was three months pregnant with our baby.  Ever since I have been really dizzy for the most part through out the day other days worse.  Went back to the dr saying I have been dizzy, they didn't really know why, then shortness of breath and chest pain on the left(stinging, stabbing sensation) was occuring a lot again.  I just keep thinking I am going to die of cancer or something cause all the symptoms I am having is symptoms of a brain tumor.  I ended up going to the ER that next day cause my head was numb on top and still really dizzy.  I told them what was going on and they couldn't really say much either, they gave me a EKG for my chest pains and shortness of breath to check for heart problems that came back good.  Did a blood test on me and all that came back was my calcium was a little high was 10.8 and was suppose to be at 10.2 or lower.  Thinking that was because I took a multivitamin 3 hours before I went that has calcium in it and was still in my blood.  Had that re checked 2 weeks later and was fine.  The ER also did a CT scan on me cause I was worried so bad about a tumor and that came back normal, makes me wonder how accurate those scans are.  All I think about all day everyday now is what is wrong with me and if I'm going to die.  I am 24 years old and expecting a son in february, I also wonder if this has to do with my girlfriend being pregnant cause I guess you can have sympathy pains but don't know how severe they can get.  I have always been healthy, then all of a sudden the worst hits me.  Iv'e taken a lof of time off work for drs, and is  Very hard for me to even concetrate at work, cause all I think about is if I am going to die and what is wrong with me throughout the whole day as still being really dizzy.  I went to another dr. last week for a skin boil and was antibiotic for that is is now November.   I told him about all the symptoms I have been having and just wont go way.  He asked me if I was suffering from anxiety and having attacks, I said I don't know.  He also prescribed me Paxil and see how I do on that.  My current symptoms and on going have been, Shortness of breath, chest pain, extreme dizzy, a lot of muscle spasms when sitting or laying down, nausea, left knee pain like feel it in my bone and leads to my ankle,  Its like a electric shooting type of pain like paulsating, or sometimes when I move my knee gets a sharp pain again.  I just keep thinking I have a brain tumor, lukehmia from the joint pain, bone cancer from the bone pain.  Get headaches in the front or sides of my head temple or bridge of nose.  Dr. said if I had lukehmia my white blood cell count would be high and my blood test was fine.  I don't know what all anxiety can do but can it give all these symptoms if your always thinking about a certain disease and how long do these symptoms last?  I am always on the internet looking up things and everything I look up I think I have and freak out.  The only other thing is STD's my girlfriend got tested from being pregnant and all came back negative.  I'm worried about HIV and I think I have herpies but that won't cause all this would it.  Ive been stressed out over that deal 2 before any of this took place.  Going to the dr in a few days again for STD check, but wouldn't my girlfriend test come back positve or could I have it and her not?  If anyone could help me that would be great, my life is really hard ryt now fighting these symptoms.

Sorry Josh, I certainly don't mean to diss your many, many problems, but my advice to you is get your butt in front of a good psychiatrist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! He/she will be able to deal with all of your physical problems, as well as your mental/emotional ones. With a new baby due soon, you need to get your stew in one pot!
I wish you a lot of luck..........you've got a difficult journey ahead of you. But you CAN do this and I hope, for the sake of yourself and your family, you step up to the plate NOW.
Let us know how you're doing, OK? We will all be rooting for you!
Peace
