If you haven't actually been to a doc that's of course the first step, but if you have and physical causes have been ruled out - don't rule out anxiety. As a sufferer of health anxiety I can attest that your mind can actually cause physical sympoms of things that don't exist. I've honestly convinced myself that I've had brain tumors, Parkinson's, MS, ulcers, other various tumors, you name it. And I've actually experienced some of the symptoms without actually havoc anything close to the real thing.
