Occassionally/randomly i get a sensation of pins-and-needles in my left armpit. never in a certain position. could it be anxiety or slumped shoulders?

Pins & Needles: It could be either or a combination of both. Please start w/a visit to your primary care doctor. If he/she thinks it is necessary you may be referred to a neurologist for some nerve tests. Please don't let your mind run ahead. Lots of reasons to be hopeful. If anxiety, a clinical psychologist can help.Peace and good health.
