Tingling sensation around neck/head

Does anyone know what this could be. Sometimes if I sit still for ages, I start to get this wierd tingly feeling at the back of my neck, then it goes in my head. I feel like I can't move because it's like I'm being sedated. It's a nice relaxed feeling but what is it?

:eek: What! You reeeeeeaaaalllllyy should see a doctor sooner rather than later! anything to do with your head, neck or your back that makes you feel like you cannt move is in no way normal!

It might just be some form of cramp from sitting awkwardly for a long time. You might unconsciously tilt your neck slightly, or lean forwards.

Best to see a doctor though, just to rule out anything serious. :smile:
i would go see a doctor, just to make sure. i would suggest a trapped nerve, but they tend to be painful i think.

I can move my head, but I feel like I want to stay there with my head still because I'm so deeply relaxed.
I think i know what you mean. Can you also sort of hear it too when it happens. I personally wouldnt bother going to the doctor as its not having an adverse effect on me and it only happens occaionally. But thats just me.
