What Causes Numbness On The Arms And Legs?

Will someone tell me why my arms, legs, feet, and sometimes lips will feel light. As if to float away from me. I get hot sometimes out of nowhere and sweat almost continuously and when I walk I feel as if I m stomping my feet with every step. I m only 24 and this is only some of my symptoms.
