Urine pregnancy tests are fairly good at detecting pregnancy if used correctly and if the pregnancy is far enough along to be detected. A doctor's office can perform a more sensitive blood pregnancy test. Also hormonal changes or improperly functioning thyroid could account for some of those symptoms. You should see your doctor if your symptoms aren't resolving.
There may be a number of reasons why you are experiencing those symptoms with a negative pregnancy test. You should make an appointment with you primary care provider to get examined.
First do a pregnancy test - if negative then you are not pregnant - but do a pregnancy test first - you have to start somewhere

There are many reasons you may be having those symptoms with a negative pregnancy test. Hormone changes are often the cause- if your test is negative and you are not wanting a pregnancy you will want to make an appointment and consider taking hormones like birth control to regulate the symptoms.
