What Is The Reason For Tingling And Sensation Of Blood Flowing In Head While Sleeping?
Tingling and blood flowing sensation in head while sleeping?
I’m 33 years old, man, healthy. But it is for more than 6 months I have a headache during night but a different headache! (Especially before raising of bed) “Different“ because I feel the pain on the side of my head that is upper than other sides of my body. I mean when I sleep on my left side I feel pain on right side of my head , when I sleep on right side I feel pain on left side of my head , when I sleep on back….
Besides, I feel blood flowing and tingling pins and needles (tingling) in my head! (I’m concerned about the tingling because it may be caused by blood circulation problem in my head)
Sometimes it is very painful and wakes me up in mid of night! When I wake up and have some physical exercise (like walking, stretching body) the headache is disappeared!
I had a brain MRI test. My neurologist saw the result and told me nothing is wrong.
Sometimes I feel heartthrob and also arrhythmia symptoms in my heart (many times (%70) my heart problem and my headache happens simultaneously). I have a slight Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) (I checked it 6 months ago. It is OK.) and also had a heart exercise test it was OK too.
I never used drugs, alcohol and like that. I have no neck problem. My pillow is ok. I have no sign of diabetes. No injury in my head. I have no sign of lack of B12 vitamin or anemia.

Hi
your problem look like that of posture over concerned
heart sounds and pulsatstion and sound from neck artery called carotid artery do travel though pillows and you can feel it in head .The pillow almost woks as doctors stethoscopes as it close to chest heart; neck and head It is a common complaint by patients What you need to do is keep pillow away from you chest and neck area by changing the position of pillowThis also explains feeling blood flowing and tingling sensation
THE cause of pain on opposite side of head is difficult to explain
I shall be happy to hear from other experts but to my patient I would have said do not worry as all investigation reports are normal
As a psychistrist I am of the opinion that if you pay less attention you will feel better .Small dose of anti anxiety drug at bed time to be prescribed by your doctor for short period will do good for you
Enjoy life get back to feeling of normalcy
