Experiencing Shocks Throughout The Body. Not On Any Medication. Any Suggestion?
I keep experiencing these electrical shocks throughout my body. Starts in my head, which is most acute , and goes all the way to my toes. I am 39 years old and not on ANY medication. It has happened in the past on a few rare occasions. Now it is happening everyday. Almost at random throughout the day. I have been stressed and just went through a move. But the stress is not even so much. I have been through much more stressful things. What should I do. It isn't really too painful. But is VERY sharp and thorough. Any help.....?

Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Peripheral neuropathy
2. Anemia (either Iron deficiency or Vit B12 deficiency anemia)
3. Any abnormality in blood pressure & blood sugar levels
4. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, etc. which also interferes with blood formation & nerve conduction
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of nervigenic agents like Vit B12, B6 & Folic acid.
If you still find any difficulty, kindly get certain investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels & Thyroid profile.
Take care.
