Here are symptoms I have experienced for far too long now and I can't find any answers. I'm desperate here. Diabetes test came back negative.

Anxiety – Has developed over past year
Stomach pains – Started several years ago. Recently has become more localised to the upper right abdomen, lower left abdomen and occasionally in the back. Some things I have noticed cause the pains include white chocolate, Nytol tablets, sometimes pasta, some crisps (Doritos mainly) and lack of sleep can also cause them. Alcohol can sometimes cause them, not always.
Depression – Worsened since September. Has led to lack of interest in college, which normally I enjoy a lot.
Difficulty sleeping – worsened over past year. If I do drift off to sleep early I usually wake and can’t sleep again.
Chest pains – Don’t occur very often. Last happened late 2010
Dizziness – Can come on after certain foods
Lethargy – More since September
Mood swings – Have been happening for a while for no apparent reason.
Leg cramps -- could be related to sleeping position, but mainly happens in the calf muscle.
Pain in knee and shoulder (Shoulder pain comes on very suddenly and lasts for a split second). Also sometimes have pains in the arm, mainly the wrist but could be due to old injury.
Heart palpitations
Not as focussed as usual.
Confusion – I had to spend a few minutes remembering which way to walk even though I know the area well, and I forget where things are at college although I’ve studied there for 4 years.
Not sure if it’s related, but sometimes when walking I am aware I’m not walking straight. Sometimes I lose balance as well when standing still.
High BG reading: 14.9 1 hr after sugary drink. Might be normal though???
Researched acute intermittent poryphyria and it makes sense.
What makes symptoms worse:
Mainly sugar
Caffeine
Alcohol
Sometimes crisps
Nytol sleep tablets
Sometimes pasta
