Sounds like you are on your way to an over use injury.
Please take at least two weeks off before its to late!! Then gently come back climbing, only V1/2 or 5.6 to 5.7 climbing for at least two weeks (do not over do it, coz thats when injury will strike you!!!). Had the same feelings in my elbows, now had nine months out.
An exercise that might help (sounds like there isn't enough blood flowing through your fingers while you sleep, get the same in my elbows)... buy a 1kg weight and just roll it in your fingers. So roll your fingers out flat then roll it back up into a fist.
Make sure you use your fingers to roll the weight and not gravity, nice and slow also.
Do 3 sets of 15 on each hand after climbing before you sleep and again when you wake up.
Or have a look at getting some chinese medicine balls.
