Hands And Feet Fall Asleep Randomly, Have Broken Capillaries On Ankles And Wrist. Suggest?

My hands and feet fall asleep randomly (and when I run) this has been happening for 7 years and I've visited many doctors, neurologist, dermatologist, chiropractor, vascular surgeon, plastic sergeon, many more, no one knows what's wrong...any idea? I'm only 20 years old and I have broken capillaries on my ankles and wrist.
