What Causes Incomplete Filling Of Lungs, Numbness And Headaches In Night?

I am 34 and female. Recently I have been have difficulty breathing in the sense that I just can't seem to fill up my lungs. I always feel that I am left starving for oxygen. My lungs themselves don't hurt but the airway leading to them feel numb and icy. It feels like it starts about the sternum and continues into the bronchi. I am also having severe headaches at night, numbness and tingling in my right arm with these headache occurances. The headache is one sided - on the right. This pain keeps me up at night. Sometimes a change in position helps with the numbness in arms and hands but not the headache.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Anxiety headache with ?Thyrotoxicosis with Cervical Spondylitis with Sinus Headache with URTI,giving icy numb airway due to subdued / subclinical infection- which would explain your night headache,which is not being treated and hence is giving you sleepless nights.
Other causes needs to be kept in mind and need to be investigated from Your GP doctor like? Anaemia with some Chronic infection?like UTI/ and chronic active hepatitis / or hormonal imbalances like diabetes / thyrotoxicosis,in your case.
Prima facie incomplete filling of lungs / numbness and headache, don't seem to be from direct lung illness as such, in your case.
Second opinion from Physician and Chest Physician/ and if need be from Endocrinologist would resolve your health issues.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
