Hmm...it seems like maybe something is wrong with the parathyroid glands, maybe?  They control calcium in the body which could explain the numbness in hands and the tingling/twitching.  

Google parathyroid gland disorder and check the symptoms against yours.  Good luck to you.

Were you tested for diabetes?  Having PCOS puts you at risk for diabetes, and the numbness in the hands and feet sounds like peripheral neuropathy. I am surprised you were not put on metformin or glucophage for the PCOS. These drugs are used to restore normal menstrual cycles in PCOS sufferers and also keep blood sugar levels down.

You're on a lot of Hypertension meds! Another thing you should ask your doc about is if the hypertension is renovascular? For that you'd need some kidney tests, like an ultrasound to see if you have any cysts, vascular stenosis, etc.

Good luck, I hope you feel better.
