Is The Electric Shock Like Feeling Related To Heart?
While sitting watching TV I got what felt like an electrical shock in my left arm from the upper area down to my fingers. It happened about 7 times within just a few seconds. It hit so hard I thought I was going to jump off the couch. Is this heart related or nerve?

Hi
Thanks for contacting HCM.
You had electric shock like sensation left arm and it has recurred 7 times in few seconds.
Can you please specify your age/sex, comorbid health ailments and associated features like chest pain, jaw pain, sweating, neck pain & dizziness if any.
As of now this pain could be because of NERVE (1st diagnosis), HEART (2nd diagnosis).
Kindly revert back to us with more info so that we can guide you better.
