Yes I suggest calling dr too or ER.
It could be a blood flow stoppage somewhere
like when my arms fall asleep if I have them over head or under my pillow while sleeping.

Especially call or go to ER if it doesn't normalize quickly... it might have been a positional thing if it does return to your normal.

my arms normalize as soon as I change position but it takes me awhile to get them moved around since they are pretty much dead up to my shoulders.
I have to use my shoulders to swing/fling the arms out to the sides..

but then they go thru the pins and needles while the blood is returning.

I agree with the others... seek immediate medical assistance!!

This could have happened by the position you were sleeping... but it is also possible that you have a blood clot that is preventing blood flow or a nerve is pinched somewhere causing your leg to go numb.

Complete numbness is never good if it lasts for very long.

Please let us know what happens and how you are feeling!
