Sensory changes, headache, chest pain, tachycardia (undiagnosed please help)

30 year old male.
I have experienced the following symptoms during the last 2 1/2 years (prior to 2005 this I was very healthy).
Here I will give my medical history in case it is related:

- Starting May 2005, Unexplained chronic daily headache, heaviness sensation in forehead
-- (CT / MRI / MRA of brain, MRI c-spine, neurological exam, simple blood tests normal).

- Starting April 2007, gastritis in the duodnem, proctitis.  Chronically re-occurs.
-- Had CT abdomen / pelvis May 2007. Normal except for small liver hypodensities (probable cysts).
EGD / colonoscopy Sept. 2007, negative for H. Pylori, quit smoking, quit non-steroidal anti-imflammatory drugs,  but symptoms continue to re-occur.

- Starting December 2007, symptomatic tachycardia which was leading to near-syncope symptoms, and tachycardia in my sleep as high as 170 bpm.  THROBBING UPPER CHEST PAIN, started at the same time, it is not much worse with exercise, at night when I lay down to sleep I feel squeezing chest pain.
-- Negative blood tests, chest Xray, EKG, Echocardiogram.  Most likely sinus tachycardia.

- Starting Febuary 2008 (very recent), altered sensation in skin on both right limbs and left leg.  Most notable in right arm.  Right arm feels heavy and clumsy.   More intermittent in legs / feet.   Skin sensations in feet are on the top of the feet and halfway up the lower legs.    Right arm feels heavy and uncomfortable.    No actual muscle weakness, just heavy numb sensations.   Chest pain in upper-central chest and all over symptoms listed above continue.

Please help me, I am in severe despair.

I have also woken up in the morning occasionally with bilateral numbness along the Ulnar nerve pathway in the hands, which resolves when I get out of the bed.
