could be a pinched nerve in either your neck or back ?

It's normal for migraines to cause it, but you could have bad circulation in your hands and feet.

poor blood circulation

Migraine attacks commonly activate the sympathetic nervous system in the body. The sympathetic nervous system is often thought of as the part of the nervous system that controls primitive responses to stress and pain, the so-called "fight or flight" response. The increased sympathetic nervous activity in the intestine causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Sympathetic activity also delays emptying of the stomach into the small intestine and thereby prevents oral medications from entering the intestine and being absorbed. The impaired absorption of oral medications is a common reason for the ineffectiveness of medications taken to treat migraine headaches. The increased sympathetic activity also decreases the circulation of blood, and this leads to pallor of the skin as well as cold hands and feet. The increased sympathetic activity also contributes to the sensitivity to light and sound sensitivity as well as blurred vision.

migraines restrict blood vessels - if you've got bad circulation this could cause the tingling.

i've got a heart condition so my circulation is bad and i get the same thing when i have one.

It comes from laying on your leg or arm on that side for to long. It also comes from when you get that fainting feeling like you want to blackout. Do you get up really quickly and see stars well all that blood rushed to your head realy quick and thats not good for you. I get that all the time.
