Hi Joanna, When you mention that your spine is twisted, do you suffer from a curvature of the spine? Is it scoliosis or kyphosisi? The curvature, which can worsen over time, may be causing an impingement on peripheral nerves. This may explain the numbness and tingling sensation in your hands, fingers and toes. The sensation of a change in heart rhythm and chest tightening may be a panic response to the feeling of numbness and tingling in your extremities. I suggest that make an appointment to be evaluated by a neurologist. Nerve conduction studies may be recommended. Hopefully, the cause of your symptoms can be identified. I don't think you are imagining this. MaryannNovember 4, 2011 - 4:36pm
