If I lay with my arm propping my head up I get numb from my shoulder to my elbow.

I get dizzy/faint all the time so am not sure its due to position in my case

The dizziness leads me to believe this is vascular problem. You should see a specialist before considering anything else. If you get clean bill for circulation. The dizziness occurs in the head--well above the brachial plexus, so judging by your comments, I think it is unlikely to be TOS
