Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
First thing to find out is whether you have these symptoms due to menopause and hormonal imbalance. Hence get complete hormone panel with FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone and prolactin. Chemicals like adrenaline, alcohol, caffeine, cocaine, amphetamines, and other drugs all cause palpitations. Disease (such as hyperthyroidism and pheochromocytoma) or mitral stenosis, panic disorder all cause this. Palpitations may be associated with heart problems, anemias and low blood pressure. If you have cough and are taking medicines that contain asthalin or terbutaline then the palpitations can be a side effect of the drugs.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Take care!

Anxiety for the heart pulps and dizziness,and maybe pinched nerve for the numbness in the fingers go and get a proper check from your doctor.
