I have also started to experience numbness in my hands and only when I am lying down on either side or on my stomach. When I'm lying on my back its fine. This happens at any time of the day. (It happens, no matter where I lie down - hard or soft bed - couch) Prior to this i have had a nerve-tingling sensation on my left cheek followed by sharp little lightning-bolts shooting into my head followed by dizziness. First I thought I was just stressed out, as these 'attacks' mostly happened at work. Due to the fact that I have very high blood pressure on medication (4years ), I went to the Doc who suggested I have an EEG done - it was normal. Then I had an ECG - also ok. All the doctors have done so far, is to add a 'diuretic' tablet to my medication for BP, which has had a lot of side effects, so I have stopped that. It's been put down to a case of stress with 'little panic attacks'. Something I can live with & control if it is only that. The added numbness recently it happens every time I lie down is getting to me and I don't quite know what to do to tackle this new problem. I have thought of going to see a chiropractor & if that doesn’t help a neurologist. Does anyone have advice for me?”
