Panic disorder: If you have repeatedly asked about these symptoms, as your question suggests, it is really hard for me to believe someone has not suggested this is an anxiety disorder. Perhaps you are having trouble accepting that diagnosis. That is part of the anxiety...you can't accept that there is nothing life-threatening wrong with you. Treatment with cognitive behavior therapy, medications, relaxation!

Therapy?: If there are no physical causes for your symptoms, have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Possible panic attac: If you had a medical workup that was negative, then it could be anxiety or due to substances like caffeine or nicotine. You may be having panic attacks. See a psychiatrist for an evaluation and to discuss treatment options.

Medical clearance: After a medical clearance ruling out cardiovascular problems, I believe you might benefit from a treatment with a tranquilizer or Zolpidem, but perhaps the Mirtazepine might help, especially if your doctor believes you have a depressive disorder as well.
