Q: squigley lines in right eye and also numbness in my left arm and face

I am 33 years old.. within the last year I have had multi-colored squigley lines appear in my right eye. This has happened 6-7 times.. last night they appeard in my left eye and lasted about 3mins.. 20 mins. later my left arm went numb from the elbow down to my hand.. The numbness in my arm went away after about 5mins and then the numbness in my hand went away 5 mins. later.. I had numbness in my thumb for another 2-3 mins. and then the numbness went to my cheek, and lip and chin, when that numbness went away my teeth felt numb on the left side and then when that went away my tounge was numb for another couple of mins.. what could this be and are the squigley lines in my eyes connected to this?
