None of which you have been diagnosed with.

Have a look at about health anxiety.

Yep you are in the grip OP. Can you speak to your gp to discuss medication and start some therapy? The reality is we can be diagnosed with anything at anytime, but your anxiety over this appears to be overwhelming. Please seek help.

I so sympathise as health anxiety is absolutely debilitating. I recovered from
mine by medicating. It was the only way.
