Numbness, no energy on left side, uneven heart beat

Hi, can some please help me?
In January of this year I developed this tingling in hands that spread to numbness in arms and legs too.
My blood pressure also started increasing. My spech became slurred and it felt like the whole tongue has occupied my mouth. I was not having any good night sleeps and was scared that something will happen to me in sleep so used to be awake as much as possible.
I did and ECG twice it was normal. A lot of "regular" blood tests - kidney, level, lipid, cholesterol etc. all normal.
I also did a brain and spine MRI that was also normal.

Then in february I again started feeling nauseated, sweaty and went to the ER. They tested to see if there were any signs of a heart attack but it was negative. They did third ECG that was normal. Next day they even did a stress test of the heart that was normal too.

Now from past 2 weeks I am feeling no energy in the left side of my body, and also some numbness in left hand and left side of the face.

Not sure what to do!
Please note that I am worried about HIV because of some incident 15 months ago at a strip club where I sucked on the nipples of a few strippers.
I have never been able to gather the strength to get tested but all this is happening to me now!
Please advise.

Thanks,

U can not contract HIV by sucking on the nipples of a stripper.  It's extremely hard if not damn near impossible to contract it with kissing someone with HIV.  Ur fine.  But if ur worried, get tested.  U don't have it tho.
