Head numbness after sleep
Whenever I rest my head on my hand and sleep at night, when I wake up. That part of the head seems to be like numb due to loss of blood circulation, like left near year or if back a slight portion of back. After I wake up and remove the gand blood seems to rush and after rubbing a while it seems to become ok. Is this normal.. Please don't scare me
