I'm a 25 year old female, I smoke a e-cig, don't really move around and I sleep in a recliner. For the last 16 hours I've been having a fullness numbing feeling on the top of my forearm and every once in a while tingling in my fingers, also it's in my left forearm and fingers.

That sounds like an awful night's sleep! I'd try to find a bed, get rid of the electronics and start moving.
The numbness and tingling is most likely carpel tunnel syndrome and/or ulnar nerve entrapment. I would hope that they would get better if you start sleeping better. If not, discuss with your doctor.
Best of luck!

I dont hang my arm over my head but i do favor sleeping on my keft side im also on my smart phone almost every waking hour can that have something to do with it.
I suspect you have been hanging your left arm over the top of your recliner. What this does is to compress the axillary nerve under your left armpit, which would cause the numbness and tingling. Try a change of position and see what happens. Where that doesn't help, you need to make an appointment to see your pcp to see if the e-cig and your life style has anything to do with it.
also needs blood pressure ,ekg not to loose sight of sedentary life style ex smoker leading to heart condition.
