Hi,
How are you? Do you feel headache when you change position from standing to lying down? Can you elaborate on the numbness that you experience? Conditions to be ruled out include  orthostatic hypotension, neuropathic pain, or the rare kind of headache, hemiplegic migraine. Further evaluation may need to be done to determine the underlying cause. A referral to a neurologist and additional diagnostic tests may also help. Take care and do keep us posted.
