What Causes Intermittent Tingling And Numbness In The Left Arm And Leg?

I'm experiencing intermittent tingling and numbness down my left arm, leg and face. I have had a neck injury in the past (3 herniated discs from a car accident in 2000...I am 66 years old, female. I don't seem to have any symptoms when this passes (in a minute or 2)...concerned about ignoring it if it's heart /stroke etc...?
