why arms feel funny

Sometimes when I run uphill some very steep altitude gains in the beginning my arms feel funny like they are losing oxygen or blood. It's not pain it's not numbness but a weird ache like all the blood is rushing out of them. I'm sure it has to do with all the blood going to my hamstrings and glutes so they can push me up the hill. But I don't know any of my friends that have this sensation. Just wondering if it's unusual should I worry? And what is happening when I feel this way?
