What Could Be Done For Faster Heartbeats After Small Electric Shock?

21, 150cm, 53kg, no medical history of anything serious. I just gave myself a small electric shock through my finger when pulling a cord out a an electrical socket. I can hardly feel my heartbeat or pulse but my pulse seems to be going quite quickly half an hour later.
Should i go to the hospital, it was a really small shock.

hi,
a small shock doesn't matter much but you should surely go to a hospital if you're feeling the heartbeats going faster or any other complains like dizziness or decrease in urine.

just go to an emergency department. they'll have a fast examination of you.
