Hyperventilation: Easy answer is hyperventilation but could be other things. Hyperventilation is when you exhale more than you inhale. Thus too much co2 is exhaled and the ph of your blood changes giving you the dizzy tingling. Test: breathe into a brown bag so you rebreathe the co2 and see if that rids you of the numbness.

Hard to say: The combination of dizziness, malaise, and numbness in the fingertips can all be due to hyperventilation/anxiety disorder. This is a diagnosis of exclusion however. There are neurologic disorders that can do this that are, thankfully, rare: multiple sclerosis comes to mind. Stay under the care of your doctor until it is resolved.
