What Causes A Tingling Feeling In Head?

Hi, I am 55 years old and lately I have been feeling tingling in my head mostly on the left side, I have also been under a lot of stress. A recent doctor's visit turned into a eye exam and possible cataracs. He did not see any other problems. I have never felt this before in my head and was just wandering if this is something I should check out further. Could sleeping on big pillows and not flat on the bed be my problem?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

It could be due to stress and anxiety. In that case, you can try some relaxation technique like JPMR or deep breathing exercise that would keep you active and relax. You can also try some antidepressant or low dose benzodiazepine. In case, such tingling sensation stays, then get your x-ray cervical done to rule out cervical issues. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
