Hi and thanks for the query,

Tingling hands and feet deserve a good evaluation. Diabetes can cause neurological manifestations like tingling. It is important to exclude diabetes.
Low blood Calcium and Low magnesium are common causes of tingling. measurement of Calcium and Magnesium levels in blood is important. Deficiencies in Vitamin B complex Vitamins can cause also cause tingling.

Headache behind the left eye could suggest either a migraine, commonly preenting as a one sided pain (unilateral) a problem with eyes itself.

A physical examination coupled with a chest X XXXXXXX should be enough to explain why you are having chest pain. This could show an infection and thus orient treatment.

Gastritis and gastroesophagal reflux disease could also present itself as chest pain. I would suggest a proper examination done by your doctor and getting these proposed tests done.

Thanks and hope this helps. In case you have specific questions, feel free asking follow up questions through this medium. I shall be more than happy to contribute to your well being. Kind regards.
