Lack of circulation...

You need to get out more.  ;)  ;)





Seriously, though, I always get pins and needles if I sit on my sofa for a long period with my arm on the rest.

Ian, you need to provide more details: are the pins and needles in your legs or arms? Left or right? Could be something a simple as a trapped nerve. Let us know. :y

I did go to the quacks maybe a year or so ago, because I kept getting pins and needles in my arms in bed.

Didn't think much of it really, until I woke up in the middle of the night, only to find one of my arms 100% completely dead. :o

Only way I can describe it, is if you imagine waking up with a dead persons arm in your bed! I remember sitting up and lifting my dead arm with my other hand, I had no feeling and couldn’t move it at all.

Doctor said this was 'normal'  :-/ Haven’t thought much about it since then really. I just blame it on a cheap shitty mattress. ;D

It’s never happened again that bad, however it has woke me up a few times. :-/

I would always be inclined to have a further opinion.

The time allocated by GP's to investigate any potential problem is abysmal and it seems that the patient must now insist that a comprehensive check is made of any symptoms presented.

It's what you pay for after all.

My right arms got pins and needles again, just started now.

Maybe I should make another appointment again?

Or is it just me laying funny on my arm/elbow maybe?

I don’t know, anyway its starting to go back to normal now (2 mins later), so im off to bed!

Guess so, prob come back home with swine flu though then  ;D Cant win!  :)

Just wondering, If you lay on your right side for example, and prop your head up with your right arm, would you get pins and needles from doing so every time you did this? If that makes sence  ::)

Yes you can. I sometimes get them if I fall asleep on the settee with my arm, in an awkward angle, holding my head.  Arm goes dead,soon clears though.  Caused by blocking the blood flow, temporarily, anything more than that wants checking out properly. :y

Happens to me every time! Sometimes, i'm am woken up by a 'dead arms' slap on my face, a painful one too  ::) And it hurts when the arm/leg comes round as pins and needles get really intense  :-?
And getting it now in my legs so need to lower the pc chair  ;)

Seriously get it checked out A.S.A.P. The same thing happened to me, went to the Dr who told my blood pressure was off the scale, and that I'd been rather lucky to get a warning. I now have normal blood pressure with the help of a few pills a day, reasonable diet (mostly), and excercise.
Then again it could just be a trapped nerve or the way you sleep.
TAKE CARE.

They didnt actually check my blood pressure when I saw the doctor last time, which I thought they would  :-?

I would have thought so too, it was the first thing mine did, and I'm bloody glad he did. I now get summoned every year for an MOT(blood, and urine tests along with BP), and passed again this year( so did the car).
I should add that when I had my problem I woke up like you with a dead left arm which turned into pins, and needles only they didn't go away for a couple of days!
Better to be safe than sorry, STAY WELL :y

I get it sometimes but mine is from a trapped nerve in my shoulder.

Sounds like you're not establishing the chemically-enforced exclusion zone effectively enough. ;)
