Why do i have pins and needles in my face?

Question

I regularly get pins and needles/tingly feeling in my face - especially around the top of my cheeks/below my eyes, it's not exactly painful, it's just uncomfortable and annoying.

It can last anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour and i've had it since i was 15 (i'm 19 now) and it's becoming more regular.

Anyone who can shed some light on this would be helpful.

I've been to the doctor and i was referred to a neurologist, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me.

(It's nothing to do with my eyesight)

Answer 6

well...they were at least right to send you to a neurologist(even if they couldn't solve the problem) because when you get that tingly feeling it has to do w/your nerves firing.  i agree, you should go to a chinese doctor or even just an acupuncturist.  acupuncturists know more about nerve endings than anyone because that's what acupuncture is based on, they place the needle at specific nerve endings that in turn affect different parts of your body/different functions of different parts of your body...ask them what the nerve endings in your face affect...
