No.: Tingling and numbness in distal extremities is very suggestive of some type of peripheral neuropathy. Have full general check-up with your primary doc; then may need neurology consult and tests, eg nerve conduction. Diabetes and alcohol nerve toxicity are common causes. If "regular" means intermittent and no sx between them, perhaps it is hyperventilation, a form of anxiety/panic attack.

I don't think so: I would have it checked out by a doctor.

Unlikely: Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis of exclusion however you are not listing some important features such as wide spread pain sleep problems or irritable bowel. You describe symptoms with several possible severe causes. So you deserve a careful evaluation possibly by a pm&r doctor.
