%d is digits only, it doesn't recognize commas. Since your numbers use commas, you'll need to use the %n wildcard instead. ( and ) have a special meaning in trigger patterns. To use them as normal characters, precede them with ~.

#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~(%n/%n~) Lifeforce ~(%n/%n~)} {west;say return me;say healing}

Just add a control.
#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~(%n/%n~) Lifeforce ~(%n/%n~)} {#IF (@goheal = 1) {#VAR goheal 0;west;say return me;say healing}}

After you've finished healing, and want the trigger to work again, be sure to set the variable to 1.

Try this. Ive noticed that you can have multiple variables when you use the #VAR command. IE if you do #VAR 5 15, 5 times in a row you now have 5 variables named 5 all holding the value 15. Instead once you have the 1 variable somewhere, use <variable name> = <value>. Works wonders. Heres what you should have I think.

#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~(%n/%n~) Lifeforce ~(%n/%n~)} {#IF (@goheal = 1) {goheal = 0;west;say return me;say healing}}

That should work.

#VARIABLE does NOT create multiple variables when reusing the same variable name. Please don't spread misinformation.

varname = value is just another form of #VAR varname value. If #VAR 5 15 created multiple variables, then 5 = 15 would also. Fortunately, neither is true (although i think "5" is a very poor choice for a variable name).

ThunderHawk, is the original pattern a prompt? If so, change the trigger's Trigger On options to Prompt = checked, Newline = unchecked. Also be sure to create the variable by typing this at the command line.
#VAR goheal 1
Another thing you should check is the number of spaces between items. The forum only displays 1 space between items and that's what I used in making the trigger pattern. If there is actually more than one space, you'll need to adjust the pattern accordingly.

You have an unmatched parenthesis at the end of your pattern. You should either remove it or put a ~ in front of it.
PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~(1/%n~) Lifeforce ~(1/%n~))

Also, your trigger will only fire when both Energy and Lifeforce are 1 (no more, no less). There's nothing wrong with this, as long as it's what you want. It does make it easy to use another trigger to reset the variable after healing. The condition can be changed to suit yourself, the one I used resets the variable when Energy and Lifeforce both reach max. I've included the options to make this a prompt trigger, remove them if they aren't appropriate.
#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~((%n)/(%n)~) Lifeforce ~((%n)/(%n)~)} {#IF ((%1 = %2) AND (%3 = %4)) {#VAR goheal 1}} {} {nocr|prompt}

You put all of this in the command line.
#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~((%n)/(%n)~) Lifeforce ~((%n)/(%n)~)} {#IF ((%1 = %2) AND (%3 = %4)) {#VAR goheal 1}} {} {nocr|prompt}

Or, you can break it up into parts:
#TR push the Trigger button, then push New

{PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~((%n)/(%n)~) Lifeforce ~((%n)/(%n)~)} Put in the Pattern. Remove the { and } at the beginning and end.

{#IF ((%1 = %2) AND (%3 = %4)) {#VAR goheal 1}} Put in the Value. Remove the { and } at the beginning and end.

{} This is where the class would go, if the trigger was to be in a subclass. When using the editor, you select the appropriate subclass first and make the trigger there. It's blank, so no action is needed. I just included it as a space holder so I could get to the next field.

{nocr|prompt} The options, in this case nocr which means turn Newline off, and prompt which means turn Prompt on. Options are found on the Options tab.

The easiest method is to just paste the entire trigger to the command line. It doesn't require any explanation of which part goes where. That's why I use it.

In the other trigger (the one you already had).

In other words, you should have TWO triggers.
#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~(1/%n~) Lifeforce ~(1/%n~)~)} {#IF (@goheal = 1) {#VAR goheal 0;west;say return me;say healing}
#TR {PowerLevel ~(%n/%n~) Energy ~((%n)/(%n)~) Lifeforce ~((%n)/(%n)~)} {#IF ((%1 = %2) AND (%3 = %4)) {#VAR goheal 1}}

Change the Newline and Prompt options if needed.
