Have you considered that you may also benefit from professional counseling? I am not sure what is making you stay with a boyfriend who is threatening to harm himself, and who has "said and done hurtful things to you" as well.
The mind-body connection is tremendous, and your physical ailments could really be your physical body telling you to GET OUT of this harmful situation, since your mind is not willing to listen at this moment. Depression and excess, unmanageable stress can absolutely materialize into physical symptoms such as those you describe, and since doctors are not able to find anything specifically wrong, your best treatment is probably to find a safer environment, take care of yourself and seek counseling for yourself to understand yourself and your choices in a deeper way.
Please let us know if we can help you find a psychologist in your area. Your new job may also have an EAP (employee assistance program) that provides you with time and resources to talk with a therapist that is confidential. Check with your benefits personnel.
