Yesterday around 5pm I felt pins and needles in my LEFT hand, arm, cheek and left half of my tongue. I spoke with difficulty. I massaged them and in about 15 minutes it was all gone. I got a massage.This morning I woke up with pins and needles in two fingers of my RIGHT hand. This lasted a few seconds. A pinched nerve or blood vessel?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I understand your concern and would explain that the first episode seems to be caused by a TIA (transient ischemic attack), which is related to temporary occlusion of brain blood vessels. The second episode is related to a pinched nerve from a wrong position during sleep. Considering the first episode, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical check up and some tests
