Its possible.: So many systems involved over long pariods of time. Suggests you may be right. Are you able to perform tasks. Is it hard to get out of bed in the morning. do you eat well? Do you cry or feel weepy. I would suggest you check out a mental health professional for further guidance.

Yes, but: Stress is a complex biology that produces many "non-specific" (vague, little on tests) symptoms. The symptoms you mention are within the spectrum of symptoms seen in chronic stress biology; but, that does not prove it is the cause for you. Since it has been going on for months and tests negative, stress a likely cause. Mechanisms complex and not simple to understand.
