What Causes Dizziness And Weakness In The Arms?

I have been having dizziness, weakness in mostly my arms, a little in my legs. My head feels like its swollen inside, and I have some balance issues. My chest is uncomfortable a lot of the time. I have nausea that comes and goes, mostly when I stand up very long. My head feels funky, I haven t driven more than a couple miles for a couple months now. My head just wants to lay down. I stay sleepy and nap about every day for a couple hours. About the same thing happened 12 years ago and no real diagnosis was found, ( though one doctor thinks I had a stroke). over the past 12 years I have spells which they said they were complex migraines. They consist of about the same symptoms I m having now only last usually around a week. I sleep a lot during those times. In the past 3 months Ive noticed a knot on my collar bone that is radiating to my right shoulder. Now my whole chest aches and I can feel it it my left shoulder at times.(my primary care said she thinks its bursitis). Back in the beginning I think I went to every kind of doctor out there. Incidental findings were nodules on my thyroid and I have a RBBB. I was 47 at the time, my cholesterol was 202 and weighed around 145 and am 5 7 and led a very active lifestyle. Now I m pushing 60 and feel like I m a very old lady. I recently had a 24 hour apnea at home test. No apnea but some numbers were high so he wants to do a part one sleep study. That is being set up now. I honestly don t see how that could be causing all this, but I m at my wits end. Any suggestions are appreciated. There are days that I truly fear I m not going to be here long.
