Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Numbness is the result of hyperventilation
Hyperventilation is from Anxiety.
Anxiety is caused by missed beats / and missed beats can cause anxiety / - a vicious cycle...

Alcohol and smoking are dangerous...

See a cardiologist / investigate for arrhythmia.
If there is no heart problem, Psychiatric assessment and assistance can help.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
