Brief Answer:
nonspecific symptoms
Detailed Answer:
hi madam,
The symptoms you elaborated are nonspecific. These can be present in many diseases like thyroid disorders, psychiatric disorders, hormonal/endocrine disorders, or disorders related to nervous system. But as you said that thyroid, kidney, liver are all fine. So it rules out problems related to these systems.
In anxiety usually heart rate goes high. Low heart rate is usually present in athletes, who do a lot of exercise daily. In absence of such activity, heart rate of less than 60 should warn us to rule out cardiac rhythm disturbances. That can be done by an ECG and consultation with a cardiologist. Sleep disorders (poor sleep at night )due to any reason, may give rise to such disturbances in day time. Your treating doctor need to look into this aspect too.
In a nutshell, the symptoms that you posted are not specific to any organic medical condition; nothing in reference to cancer. I would refer you to a physician who can perform a good clinical examination and rule out serious problem if any and to guide you further.
Feel free to ask further.
