Can the mind cause physical pain

I have a question?

 

Is it possible to have a mental illness that cause the following 3 symptoms:

 

Extreme ear pain?

 

The pain can be constant all day or come as stabbing pain every 5 seconds for hours and then stop.

 

Facial Eye Pain?

 

The pain is mostly the upper eye lid and the eyebrows close to the nose only. The pain can again be constant all day long or sometimes it can be a stabbing pain every 5 seconds or so. The eye lids can also become extremely tired and hard to keep open like they have lost all energy to stay open. The unusual thing about this symptom is that it also comes and goes like the stabbing pain. The eyelids suddenly become exhausted and extremely tired over and over again in pulsations and then suddenly stop all together. Like when you are fighting to stay awake only i am not tired at all.

 

Throat Choking and involuntary muscle movements of the larynx/voice box?

 

The throat never stops moving all day long like it is talking even though I am not talking to myself making it hard to breath all day long causing a feeling of suffocation all day long. It gets far worse when the I relax especially when I try to sleep. My throat is moving away in the extreme with a feeling of choking because the muscles will not stop moving. Eventually it calms down after about an hour or so and I can fall asleep. But during the night there are times where I wake up moaning because my vocal chords have spasm'd so badly it feels like the have been plucked like a guitar string. Again I get pulsating conditions like above where my throat contracts severely to the point of choking of the muscles that is awful and can sometimes make me feel sick.

 

The strange thing is that when I am socializing or talking to people all the symptoms go away. If i was to stay out all night with friends I never experience them. But as soon as I am alone or relaxing the throat will start moving again and then the ears and eyes follow.

 

It is ruing my life and making my life a complete misery. I have been to ENT and Neurologists and they are all baffled why this is happening and are scratching their heads which does not help me at all. Everything i have a test done my Specialist is happy everything is all clear and I am extremely upset and depressed that yet again i can't find the reason this is happening to me.

 

Hope someone can help on here?

 

Thanks

Barry
