Hello,
An ECG is required as electric shock can precipitate arrhythmia. The symptoms you have described are mostly non specific and will settle by itself.
As of now take bed rest and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
