Brief Answer:
Fluctuation of estrogen levels or anxiety may cause such type of symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Estrogen works with central nervous system to send messages along nerves to the brain. It is assumed that when hormones like estrogen are fluctuating, signals can be disrupted or amplified and cause such type of sensation that you have already mentioned here.

Again, with the anxiety disorders, you may experience bizarre symptoms of anxiety like pins and needles with jolts of electricity. Even, withdrawal of antidepressants may also cause such type of sensation in the body.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
