Hello,
Pins-and-needles also known as tingling commonly occurs when the nerve sustains continued pressure. Medical factors that may cause it are cold, sinus, migraine, stress & anxiety in diabetic, infections that cause nerve damage or developing Neurogenic degeneration, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined by an ENT, get blood & required imaging tests done. If need be you will be referred to a GP. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected & the severity of your symptoms.
Neglect may cause the spread of tingling & burning in the face & neck as well. In the meantime, reduce weight if obese, maintain correct posture while sitting, walking & sleeping. Take adequate rest & sleep. Do regular walking & exercise. Take vitamin B12 supplements. Stay away from stress, tension & anxiety. Cut on addictions if any.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
