I am a 21 year old female 5 3 and weigh about 112 and recently i ve been having these electric type shocks on my arms it started at my right arm and now my left arm it starts mid-way my neck and down my arm it only lasts a few seconds! I don t have any chest pains. I ve never had surgery , injuries , or any health problmes relating to my heart . About 6 months ago my doctor told me I had my sugar low I don t know if it has something to do with this I hadn t seen him since then.

hello
you have pain that feels like electric shock. 1st possibility is lack of vit B12, thats the commonest condition now a days.. 2nd is___ if there any associated numbness, radiating pain, sense of burning etc then visit the doctor as you require cervical spine xray.there may be some chances of spondylitis( nerve compression). if there are no such symptoms then also u need xray as it has progressed to the left arm also.
thank you very much.
have a good health.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
You might have some pressure on your cervical vertebrae may be due to enlarge lymph node.
At this age cervical spondititis is not there but there is possibility of having extra cervical rib so go for x ray cervical region.
Take vit B1,B6,B12 injections.
Ok and bye.
