Is this ms? Very scared

Hi guys well over the past 2 months I've been having similar symptoms as MS. It all started when I got back from a ski trip in Utah and two days after I got back I was home alone sitting On the computer and I could slowly feel my breath fade to where I couldn't even take deep breathes and gaspIng for air. I called 911 and they. And out checked everything and it was fine. The next day I woke up gasping for air and eventually got my air back but I went numb in my WHOLE BODY (arms,chest,legs,head,back,face, you get the point) later that day while breathing through my nose I wasn't getting enough air and panicked again and couldn't take deep breathes. This time I went to hospital and he did blood work and a EKG, everything was fine they thought it was asthma,( its not ).
The following days I still have trouble breathing and would get numbness/tingling in random spots but mostly legs and hands and head. A week Pasts and I'm fine not thinking about it much and felt pretty normal. Well after that week was up I developed a stuffy nose,shaking,head pains and face pains,6 bloody noses,heat sensations in my head also popping ears,ringing ears,dizzyness,eye bluriness in right eye,and prob more I can't think of over the past 2 weeks I developed those symptoms.feeling so bad I go to a fam doctor and he did blood work and found out I had walking pneumonia and also diagnosed me with acid reflux and gave me pills, on our way to pharmacy I was breathing through my nose and idk what happend but I Panicked and then started shaking really fast for about 5-10 mins so I'm guessing that was a panick attack. And while it was happening I couldn't get any air while taking deep breathes. NOw that I got my medicine for pneumonia i take it for a few days and can begin taking deep breathes better. so I thought I was getting better. During this time I was burping do much it was crazy. Also during this whole time I would look up symptoms for what I have and it would freak me out. Since I'm still burping I go get a egd done where they put That scope down your throat.
Well that was normal but I was still burping even when on acid pills. So doctor prescribes a ulcer treating medicine for my burping even though I don't have a ulcer but the medicine helped right away. But he next morning when I woke up I was really dizzy and once again was unable to take deep breathes. I would get dizzy before this. It it would come and go. Just like my inability to take deep breathes. I am now off be medicine not takIng any medicine other then for my nose congestion cause I get aches in my head and constant headaches for around a month also with ear popping and some ear pains. But for the most part my head pains went away but my eyes are bothering me sometimes. I went to eye doctor and they said my eye bluriness was from allergys, but I've never had allergys before so... But idk why my ears are still popping and head still stuffed up with numbness in my face and aches also with trouble swallowing. But the big things that make me think it's MS is the numbness in my body, not just feet and hands but also leg,nose,lips,chest and when my legs get numb they go very weak, I can walk on them but just feel weird. Also when the numbness is here it usually only last between 2-20 minutes. Also Ive had problems before I have to use the restroom I would get sharp pain usually when I have a full bladder or have to pass gas. Another is my eyes, at one point I would see red lines,dots when ever I blinked and also yellow, next is dizzyness, for 5. Days now I've been extremely dizzy even when sitting down, best way to describe it is everything seems weird and also I sometimes loses balance. I used to come and go but now it's been here for 5 days. Also I've had 2 incidents where I had uncontrollable laughter for like 2 min I was laughing at a joke but couldn't stop. Next is my muscle spasms I get them everywhere my arms my legs my chest my stomach my neck my back, I just don't know what to do anymore if this is anxiety mixed in with like acid reflux which wud explain burping and shortness of breathe. If I need a secondary dose of antibiotics for pneumonia? If its multiple sclerosis which scares me to death cause I look at symptoms everyday and they all like what I have now but I'm only 17? I don't get how it wud come right after I got back fine when I was fine the week prior! So please help me what u think it is? Sorry for it bein so long.
