I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Possibly you are suffering from health anxiety. Anxiety is fear of something which may or may not be true or may or may not happen in the future. Anxiety is known to produce so many weird symptoms which has no physiological back up. They tend to be just obsessive. irregular heart rate, breathing troubles and numbness in hands could just be obsessive thoughts due to your health anxiety. Consult a psychologist for further treatment.
