Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The feeling of electric shock that you are getting is likely to be related to an electrolyte imbalance in your body. Vitamin B 12 deficiency can also sometimes aggravate such symptoms.
You can start taking appropriate supplements and consult a neurologist if the symptoms persist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
