Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

well if you are experiencing numbness and tingling still then get medical attention as soon as possible.
Get an ECG to check the heart status
Complete blood count
Urine count to check muscles enzymes...

its normal to feel these symptoms for few hours but if you are experiencing continously and is there any history of loss of consciousness alomg with visible burn to skin then kindly get consultation.i hope its nothing but prevention is better than cure...


Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
