Hi,

As you have suffered with choking recently and have pin and needle sensation which is on your spine and now for cheeks i think the cranial nerve functions are getting disturbed every now and then due to some trouble in the body.

You need to fix up an appointment with a physician and get the physical examination done. Cranial nerve testing is easy clinical process and if anything else if there as a differential diagnosis during the clinical examination then tests related to it might be advised.

Having this numbness, tingling, needles etc sensation shouldn't be ignored and have to take a wise decision for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
