Dear Foxy,
I would also like to add the possibility that you may be anemic. You said your bloodwork came back okay, but perhaps your physician should do more involved labs, looking specifically for signs of anemia, as well as your vitamin and mineral percentages, and perhaps glandular issues. There are dozens of types of anemia caused by many different things, but I can tell you that anemia can give you your numbness, heart symptoms, fatigue. Sometimes if a person is low in protein and B vitamins, you can get anemia. Bleeding somewhere in the body can also cause it. So, I think your doc should doublecheck the anemia thing, too.

Thank you for your question. There can be several reasons of such symptoms although without being able to examine him I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that he needs, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about his health concern.
Most likely possibility in your case could be a panic or anxiety disorder that you have faced during last event and currently experiencing. Cause of such panic disorder mostly remain unknown but in this disorder you may feel symptoms like shortness of breath, feeling of choking, pain in the chest, nausea, stomach ache, feeling dizzy, tingling or numbness, chills /hot flashes, bounding heartbeat or fast heart rate, sweating, shaking etc. even without any underlying disorder. This disorder needs to be thoroughly assessed by a psychiatrist first since this can occur repeatedly and without warning. Treatments may include psychological and drug treatments, and depend upon extent of severity of symptoms. Most commonly psychological treatment tried is counseling, relaxation techniques and sometimes cognitive behavior therapy. ************** depends upon treating the underlying depressive illness through anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medicines. In addition, try to rest in a dark & quiet room, meditate, have a balanced diet, regularly exercise and avoid taking unnecessary non prescription drugs to avoid recurrence of symptoms.
Hope this helps!!
