The symptoms you are describing could be related to a blood flow problem or more likely an issue with neuropathy (a disease of the nerves). This can be due to spinal disease, in your case potentially in the upper spine, or cervical area, where the nerves originate. This may be exacerbated by certain positions, which put extra pressure on those areas.
You might start by talking to a neurologist for more information.
