Pins and needles/dead hands

[Guest guest]

For a long time now I've been waking up in the night with pins and needles or

completely dead hands. I tend to hang them over the side on the bed or try and

shake them until the blood circulates again then go back to sleep. However last

night it seemed to be my whole left arm and shoulder/chest area. I tried not to

panic at the thought I was having a heart attack as I logically do not think

that's the case. I moved about and the circulation started and I was ok.

I do often wonder if waking up feeling dizzy with a tingling sensation on the

side of my face is lack of circultion too.

Does anyone else have this and how have you remedied it please? I would go see

my gp if I thought it would not be a waste of time!

Thanks
