Pins and needles in head

So I woke up this morning with awful pins and needles in my head and down my right arm... lasted a couple of minutes and then wore off but was a horrible feeling and has unnerved me a bit. Wondering if it’s how I was sleeping but have never had this before after waking up. Really need to try not to focus on the symptom as it’ll only make it worse... has anyone else ever experienced pins and needles in the head???

I’ve had something similar a few times never understood what it was so didn’t think anything of it go to your doctor if your weary of it just put your mind at ease you’ll find it’s more than likely anxiety related
