What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation In Arm And Hand?

I have recently developed a feeling of pins and needle is my right arm and hand--in the hand it is most noticeable in the right thumb. I have a history of heart situations in that I have stents inserted and I also suffer from diabetes. Don t want to over react but this has started in the past two weeks--oddly enough when I changed my bed mattress. Any thoughts as to what may be happening?
