"could it b caused by a car accident?
i kinda hurt my back."

Well, I know that my chiropractor would say yes. However, repetative action can also cause trigger points.
I would try working on muscles (massage/stretching) that may be causing the tingling.
I would also give thought to my pillow i.e. things that will affect both sleep (waking)/physical comfort (or perhaps better to say, discomfort) etc.
It's an inexpensive POSSIBLE sollution and something I would try first. If you do not find relief (a sign it's getting better)or it get's worse, then perhaps it would be best to seek professional treatment.

A cut & paste regarding trigger points and your symptom (tingling of the head/headaches) and worth a look into I think:


"Multifidi run along the entire spine. Neck multifidi are often headache inducers. These muscles are short and deep, and go from one vertebra to another. Pain is transmitted in different patterns depending on which multifidi muscle has TrPs. Activation is usually caused by prolonged bending of your neck doing close work, by stooped posture, or by gross trauma. If you have trigger points in the multifidi of the neck vertebrae, pressure from your pillow at night can be intolerable. In addition to pain, there can be a tingling, numbness, or burning pain over the back of your head on the same side as the TrPs. This is an indication that the TrPs are causing nerve entrapment. Check to see that your workstation is ergonomically correct. Don't slump. Avoid tight hats and headbands, heavy glasses, heavy overcoats and tight collars. To relieve these symptoms, sit backwards in a hot shower while you stretch your neck muscles downward."

Is the "tingling" constant?

Are you a "back sleeper"?

I too have a few waking episodes of waking in the middle of the night with a pounding pulse rate. Only twice thus far and something I haven't mentioned to the Dr. as I suspect it's minor and is not constant. Muscle tension (trigger points) can cause "numbness" in part of the head. My brother has had this, as have I.

What is causing you to wake-up? Anxiety, nightmares and sleep apnea (I do believe)can cause this.
