Medical phobias &: GAD. Keep w/psychiatrist but add a thorough physical exam by your doc. Also make sure you are getting psychotherapy, not only medication. Peace and good health. Integrative health care has potential for best outcome.

All of these: symptoms can ball into one. Your extreme fear of having medical disorders, generalized anxiety & depression could all be addressed with cognitive behavioral therapy. If you are not in therapy now - strongly recommend it.
