Have Pins And Needles In Face And Arms. Cause?

Hi, I experienced pins and needles in my hands arms and face twice in a 12hour period. This has never happened to me before. It was quite intense as I could hardly move my hands and my face pulled so much that at some point I thought I m having a stroke . If I may add the sex was very good. What caused my body to react like that.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

There are two possibilities in a person with transient neurological disturbances:

1. Transient ischemic attack- occurs due to lack of blood flow to a part of brain,

2. Seizure- occurs due to abnormal electrical discharges in the brain.

Your symptoms may not be related to sex.
You should consult a neurologist for evaluation, who may order MRI brain and electroencephalography.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
