Hallow Dear,
You have right information. False positive pregnancy test results are not known while tests done too early may report false negative. Faulty or out of date kits may give erratic results.
The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period, about which there is no mention in your history. However, the fact that your one (last) pregnancy test is pregnant, you are pregnant. Sensitive breasts would support this diagnosis. The other symptoms are not typical of pregnancy. Please report to your Gynaecologist for those symptoms. Underfeeding also may cause such symptoms.
If you are doubtful about the pregnancy test results, you may opt for Beta hCG test which is highly sensitive test. Values above 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values are below 5 mIU/ml.
I hope this helps to resolve your dilemma.
