What Causes Electrical Sensations In The Body?
Question: I am having an electrical shock feeling all over my body since 4 am this morning. I am really having to concentrate to perform any body movements or tasks, slow functions. I don't know what it is.
Brief Answer:
Diffuse Dysesthesias
Detailed Answer:
Good evening. You are referring a symptom known more technically as diffuse DYSESTHESIAS. You state a sugar level. I don't know whether that implies that you are a diabetic or not. In any case, if you were a patient of mine then, my first suggestion would be to draw some samples and test you for the more common chemical disorders that can result in such problems. Conditions such as vasculitis and porphyria should not be forgotten when working your symptoms so they may be searched for in the event markers are positive such as ESR, C-reactive protein, ANA, etc).
For examples, Thyroid tests (FT4, TSH), Parathyroid tests (Ionized Calcium, PTH), Vitamins (B12, Folate, D), Inflammatory processes (ESR, ANA, C-reactive protein, Lupus Anticoagulant).
My recommendation is that you consult with an expert in Internal Medicine/Rheumatology and very possibly Neurology in order to carry out an examination followed by diagnostic recommendations.
