Paresthesia, which is the feeling of pins and needles on the surface of the skin, is normally felt in the limbs after sustained pressure has been applied on the nerve. It gradually lessons after the pressure is removed. It is also common in the hands and feet when suffering a panic attack or when hyperventilating. Again, in this situation it gradually lessens as the person calms down. It can be a chronic symptom in diseases such as rheumatoid Arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome or as a result of nerve damage.

Why do both hands and lower arms and face go numb?
In Medical Jargon it is called Paresthesias . Mostly it occurs in peripheral areas of body like hands or legs.Peripheral disturbances are the most common cause of paresthesias. "Falling asleep" occurs when the blood supply to a nerve is cut off---a condition called ischemia. Ischemia usually occurs when an artery is compressed as it passes through a tightly flexed joint. Sleeping with the arms above the head or sitting with the legs tightly crossed frequently cause numbness and tingling. Hope this helps
