How do I deal with my anxiety over sex and just do it?

I believe I have had some sort of anxiety problem all my life. It has come full fledged these past two years. I went to the emergency room last year thinking I was having a heart attack but turned out to be anxiety. My biggest anxiety is having sex with my husband. I have been terrified of it ever since having a bad anxiety attack at the gyno to get on birth control. She didn't give me a pap because she was afraid it would scare me from having sex. Well, as a result of just the regular exam I have been terrified. It just feels too weird for me. I can't even put in a tampon. My husband and I want children. I have started having irregular periods and pelvic pain lately and feel stressed out by that and the thought of going to get checked out by the gyno. I feel so ashamed and it is ruining my life. I have to get over this fear. We have had oral sex and that does not bother me. I am just scared it will hurt. I need to stop this anxiety!!!
