Parathesias: Your symptoms most likely go along with some sort of a nerve impingement syndrome. Have the Dr evaluate you for this and an EMG might be needed to further clarify the severity of it. best wishes.

Might be the: Position of your neck. You could try a different pillow . Doesn't sound serious since it goes away so quickly.
