Tough to say: Without an exam, but any time the chest is involved with numbness and tingling, it is important to make sure it is not your heart or "cardiac" in nature. Best for you to get and evaluation. Good luck.

Consult a doctor: Any persistent symptom is cause for further evaluation. This numbness can be anything from cold symptoms to nerve sensitivity to heart attack or stoke warning signs. Make an appointment to see a doctor as soon as you can. Take care.

Irritability: This sounds like an area of irritability in a nerve or muscle of your rib cage. If a nerve in the rib cage gets pinched with a deep breath, a sharp, shooting pain often occurs. See your md if a steady pain, lump, rash, or tender spot appears.
