tightness in chest and very, very tired all the time

Ok, I can definitely tell I'm much better than I used to be. I used to have all mental symptoms, but now I have all physical symptoms. I know this is a good sign.

I'm not sure what I need next, though. Any ideas?

generals-
1. All my symptoms are on the left side

2.. I used to be a very cold person (I would sleep under a down blanket in the summer time), but now I feel very hot all the time and I need to have my air conditioning going all the time. In fact, I'm so hot that I sometimes feel like I may be starting to get menopause symptoms, but I'm still too young for that (I'm only 44).

3. I feel very, very tired all the time, even after a full night's sleep. I keep needing to take naps during the day. For example, today I was out writing at a coffee shop on a beautiful day, and about 2pm I got so tired that I had to come home and take a nap! And I was drinking iced coffee! (Which is not weird, because I live in the desert and it's still quite hot here in October.)

4. I have also gotten very overweight these last six months, but I can't seem to lose weight no matter how much I exercise. (Especially since my hysetectomy last year, which I had to have due to very large fibroids.)

Other symptoms

1. Chest/ lungs -
I have a tightness in my chest - it feels a little hard to get a full, deep breath. I also feel like I have a pain in my left lung. It feels like there is something on the back of my left lung. Occasionally I cough, but not a lot.

2. foot/ankle -
I have a pain in the back/outside of my left ankle (maybe the left side of the achilles tendon) that hurts when I first stand up to walk.

3. eyes-
My left eye feels like it has sand in my eye all the time, and both my eyes seem to tear up and water a lot lately. My lower left eyelid is twitching all the time, too.

4. numbness in my fingers-
When I'm lying in bed, the last two fingers on my hands tend to get numb sometimes. Worse on my left side.

These are the only symptoms I have, which is really amazing, considering what I used to be like! But mentally, I feel quite content.

My eye pain and the ankle pains don't bother me that much, but my lung symptoms and my constant tiredness does worry me a bit.

Thanks! I appreciate everyone's help on this forum. You've all been wonderful.

P.S. Edited to add the following

1. I've also been sneezing quite a bit lately.

2. I've had chronic ringing of the ears in the last few years. I forgot to include this symptom, because I've gotten so used to my tinnitus, I forget I have it.

Dear Nature Girl,

I know you know a lot about remedies, but right now, my
suggestion is go to the MD and have the doctor listen
to your chest, and diagnosis the facts on this, and then
you can move on with remedies bc you will have good
information, instead of speculation.
