If your hands are tingling, that might be from having your arms curled. Keeping them bent for a long time puts pressure on your ulnar nerve which wraps around your elbow (your "funny bone"). Try placing your arms in a position that will keep them straight, or even wrap a towel around your arm to keep your arm from bending.
For your allergies, you might try the steroid nasal sprays (e.g., Nasonex) or there is a recent non-steroid nasal spray (Patanase) that works well for me. (These are both prescription drugs.)
Perhaps you have apnea, but maybe just treating the allergies would be enough. Of course, if you are worried then see a doctor.
