Brief Answer:
Electrolyte imbalance could be the cause

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

There could be a number of causes that could lead to such a presentation. I would need to ask how long you have been getting such sensations. If it is of recent onset, it could be due to electrolyte imbalance. Deficiency of potassium could lead to such a presentation. If that is the case, taking juicy fruits like citrus fruits should help.

Another p[ossibility is nerve compression due to any cause.

Let me know if I could help furher.
