hello,
Numbness probably occurred due to abnormal sleeping posture. You either had stretched your arm or might have rested your head over hand leading to this. Or if it otherwise also then it can be cervical spondylosis and needs x ray cervical spine and physiotherapy.
Regarding, feeling of stopped beat, its common feeling and most of the times it's not serious issues. You need to get one baseline ecg done and if these are occurring frequently you should get holter monitoring done. Also, one thyroid test should be done.
