Brief Answer:
no need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query

I donot think that there is any need to worry, sometime it happen due to any short nerve compression due to any region, but this is not significant and not causing any damage. But if it is recurrent, then you need to see yoyr physician for complete examination.
Blood clot is not causing this type of feeling
Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
