Tingling face, head and tired arms

Hello. I had a terrible migraine type headache 2 weeks ago that lasted 6 days straight. After that left, my neck really started hurting. It's stiff and sore. 

At the moment I am very concerned because my head, face and arms are tingling.

A feeling of ants crawling on my face and very tired arms.

I went to the docs about my headache. But I haven't seen anyone about this weird tingling/numb feeling. It started off just coming and going but now it has stayed continuously for 4 days straight.

What should I do? Is it just a pinched nerve? I have sat at the PC for long periods doing web design.

Thanks.

    I've had similar since last September. Several visits to doctor, I was told migraine (given 5 sumatriptan pills) then told anxiety and and tension headaches. No one seemed to care. Anyway felt si weak one day and passed out, off to doctor again and she actually took my blood pressure and it was shockingly high, I was put on two BP meds to lower it. BUT still feeling nauseous, dizzy, number/tingly arms and headaches. Another doctor sent me for a neck xray which showed slippage in my neck and severe neck osteoarthritis. She said neck problems can cause these symptoms so it's worth asking for an xray and get blood pressure checked.

    Good luck.
