Brief Answer:
please dont worry!!

Detailed Answer:
Hello

First thing I would like you to do is to stop worrying!!
You seem to be having a multitude of problems and all these can be related to your stress!!

The tingling sensation can be due to deficiency of calcium or due to raised blood sugars and i would like you to get them tested.

The light headedness and numbness can be due to a sinus infection or fluid accumulation and needs to be evaluated by an ENT doctor and I would like you to meet one soon. Meanwhile you can start steam inhalation 2-3 times a day.

It is unlikely that you are having a thyroid problem and I don't think you have to worry about it.

The pain in under your breast is likely to be due to bruised ribs and will go away in 3-4 months, you can apply hot water fomentation, it will give you relief.

Please consider the meditation and yoga, they will definitely help you.

Thanks
