Yes: The mind can control the body in very funny ways and cause physical symptoms, you got 3 opinions saying the same thing, you need to deal with your anxiety, it is ruling your life.

Anxiety can be cause: However, the anxiety is based on repression and dissociative defenses creating what is called a conversion disorder or reaction. Find yourself a trauma based therapist who deals with dissociation. If they cannot treat you with appropriate hypnotic techniques then find a hospital-based psychiatrist who can do a sodium amytal interview to find out what has been repressed. Best wishes to you.
