What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation While Sleeping?
After going to sleep...I occasionally wake up about 3 hours later with my whole body in a trance like state with burning and a pins-needles sensation and I don t seem to be breathing properly. I have managed to get up and stager to a reclining chair where I then collapse into another sleeping time of about 4 hours. Scary.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From the available description it is possible that you are dealing with hyperventilation leading to altered gases status in our body and so the pins and needles sensation. Although I have no information about your age but it is more common among young individuals with excessive dreams of scary content.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
