You know the feeling if your hand or foot falls asleep from sitting awkwardly.

More than once post surgery. I’ve felt the same sensation on my scalp.
Yesterday I had been laying in my recliner with my sweatshirt hoodie folded funny behind my head. I’m blaming that for now.
Not surprisingly Dr Google says it could be caused by a seizure. Anyone heard of this?
 
It's a first for me. The tingling in hands/feet are usually nerve issues AFAIK. I didn't think there were many nerves in the scalp to have the same tingling experience. Must have felt very strange!
 
It was strange. It was more the skin asleep part that comes after pins and needles.
Hasn’t happened again. I really do think the hood on my sweatshirt was folded funny.

Joke:

My doctor told me that I was suffering from paranoia​


He didn't actually say that but I knew what he was thinking.
