Pins and needles/numbness in hands and feet when laying down

I keep having these episodes. Sometimes it goes for a few weeks then it’s back again. Mainly when I lay down in bed in the evening. Anyone experienced similar? Doctor is no help! B12 levels are normal aswell as others done recently

It might be low ferratin. I have had that previously. Easy for a GP to check.

I have Hypocalcemia (low blood calcium ) symptoms include pins and needles in hands and feet and mouth as well

Ferritin levels are normal! I had an infusion dec 2023 and it’s stayed good ever since. So I’m baffled

Bloods have come back fine for calcium 🤷‍♀️
