Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion your problems are due to sleep loss and anxiety.
1. Sleep loss impair your ability to think and process information so your brain cannot function properly. It can negatively impact your memory and can lead to depression. Also it increases risk of problems with your cardiovascular system and that's why you may feel irregular heart beats/ heart palpations.
2. Please note that anxiety and sleep loss has a significant effect on mood. Also there is an association between what you eat and how you sleep.
3. Anxiety can give all kinds of numb feelings. Numbness in your fingers and toes are the most common locations.
You may need medication to control the symptoms of anxiety and sleep loss. You should make an appointment with your doctor so that he or she will examine you and prescribe treatment.
Also regular exercise can relax you and it can lower the symptoms associated with anxiety. It will help you to lose weight. You should exercise at least 2-3 times a week.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
