What Should Be Done After Receiving Electric Shock From Home Appliance?
Question: Hi I just had an electric shock form a home applicance. It was enough to kinda throw me to the floor. Other than a bit shaken I feel fine..do I need to see a doctor ?
Brief Answer:
Control the heartbeat or pulse.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
You need to check your heartbeat ( pulse ) first, if any doubts about irregularities of heartbeat you need to be evaluated by a Doctor.
If not such problems, just a bit shaky, then you have nothing to worry about.
Just rest for a couple of hours.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
