Could Pins And Needles Along With Numbness In Head Be Due To Stress?

Hi, I ve recently lifted my head of the bed to an overwhelming feeling of pins and needles and then my head feeling numb. It lasted probably close to 5 minutes. It s never happened before and was quite shocking. It happened again about a week ago although not as shocking (maybe because I was already aware/wasnt so unfamiliar). And now it s happening again, although again, not as overwhelming. Could this be related to stress or something more physical? Thank
