Stage Four Congestive Heart Failure, Irregular Heartbeats, Electric Shocks Running Down Legs. What Can Be Happening?
My husband is in stage 4 congestive heart failure . He just got out of ICU after 30 days, defribrillator firing, irregular heartbeats VTACHS. Today as he was sitting in the car he felt electric shocks running down both his legs. this happened about 7 times in both legs. This is the first time this happened. Any ideas on what this is??
Probably, he is describing the defibrillator discharge? Cale vein thrombi / Embolism / Nerve root pain (from low back) / electrolyte imbalance – are a few considerations... Get him examined again by his doctor / The treating doctor alone can suggest based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
