Can Certain Yoga Poses Cause An Electric Sensation In The Heel?

Hi, I just did a yoga session and noticed that while doing the downward facing dog I have a strange electric sensation in the bottom of my left heel. What can be causing this? Should I get this checked? I also sometimes have a similar sensation in my fingertip when I bend my neck.

Hello,
This should be a warning that you should not be doing those poses. It may mean that you have some nerve impingement and it would be a good idea to see your doctor to get this checked.
