You are describing what doctors call as ‘negative and positive sensory symptoms’.
A combination of negative and positive sensory symptoms would indicate typically some nerves becoming trapped as they leave the spine or in the neck etc. .
The advise is:
1. Have a physical examination from a doctor including breast examination and cervical /thoracic spine.
2. If symptoms are not settling, get an EMG-Nerve conduction study (NCS) done to help find out which nerves are affected
3. Based on the results of the EMG-NCS can have MRI of cervical and thoracic spine.
Hope this is helpful.
All the best.

It's not too serious, Avoid activities that worsen the symptoms (heavy lifting, prolonged elbow bending, leaning on the elbow, or repetitive wrist/finger motions).
Next Steps
