Hello,

The tingling sensations could be due to:

- A pinched nerve at your neck. These nerves supply the skin over the scalp and the slightes injury can cause a tingling sensation. You can try massage or a check up with a chiropractor. An Xray will also shpow if you have problems at the spine like herniated disc, stteophytes etc.

- Working at a desk job or sitting in front of the computer can cause tension to build up in the shoulder muscles. This can cause pressure over a nerve that supplies the scalp.

- High blood pressure often causes this sensastion.

- Stress.

Please read discussions on the same problem as yours in the following healthboard:
