What is happening scientifically when my limbs being asleep and get tingly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paresthesias: This is a situation where there is a diminished blood flow to an extremity. This causes the nerves to become irritated and you will feel numbness or tingling until the blood flow is restored.
