What Causes Electric Like Shocks In Left Chest And Neck Pain?

I have been getting electric like shocks in my left chest for seconds at time and then they disappear. In addition, I am having pain down the middle of my neck. It was only on the left side, but now it's on the right too. Could these be related? I'm confused. Thanks!

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Electric shock like feeling in left sided chest with neck pain can be due to heart diseases like angina or arrhythmia.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Clinical examination of heart
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart disease.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
