Can Usage Of CPAP Machine Cause Right Sided Tingling Sensation From Face To Leg?

Hi I have experienced pins and needles that start on right side of lips then extend down right arm and right leg. This has happened twice now - both whilst in bed. I do have to use a cpap machine at night due to sleep apnoea so am unsure if this is the cause, but whatever it is it really does scare me when it happens - any suggestions you have would be gratefully received
