Female healthanxiety

Me again.... Sorry if I've been posting a lot this week, I have not had HA this bad in a long time.
Since last Thursday I have been feeling very dizzy and unable to walk without feeling like I'm gonna pass out, that cross eyed/heavy feeling.
I have been panicking since last Thursday, and got back from a short UK holiday on Saturday.
I did not go in work yesterday or today which I should have as have the dreaded holiday to Cyprus this Saturday.
I feel hopeless with the fact that I have only been at my job for 2 months and am on probation, so feel I'm going to get the sac tomorrow :-(
As you may know, my other half and me are not getting on and I had hidden my health anxiety from him for the last 3 years. I haven't done this on purpose, it's just I can go through a year and be fine.
Since Thursday I have also had, on the right hand side, a full heavy head, which does into the back of my eye, and cheek. Have tried nurofen but had not worked. I have also rested a lot as I was away.
My ultimate health anxiety of my heart has come back as I keep getting this numbers felling in my left arm and hand, where I'm anxious.
I just feel like I want to go bed and just wake up and be fine.
I plucked up the courage and phoned the DRS today and they said my DR was not available, and I cannot believe I actually made an appt with a DR I have never seen before. She was nice and I explained to her that I do not want my blood pressure taken by her as I was not comfortable, she seemed to understand.
She checked my chest, eyes, ears, temperature, and some visual tests and said that I need to stop worrying. I explained everything to her and she advised CBT; to which I told her I went through the whole self Referal thing they do now and was declined it as I worked unless I paid, which I could not afford. She told me to try the same channel again.
She did advise if the headaches get worse then to come back before the holiday on Saturday.
She gave me nothing :-(
As I was actually out I went to the local
Chemist to get some deep heat (I would really try anything now) just to see whether that would hinder the heaviness, and I felt so faint, I would normally ignore this and not pay attention to it, but it's completely impossible.
I am now at home and still feel the same.
I'm honking to cancel the holiday as I really can't do this, even standing I feel dizzy and sick :-(
She did say that there are lots of viruses going round but there's nothing that could be prescribed for that.
