Hi,Last night I had an electric shock which I didn t feel, my partner did but once everything was turned off I had sharp stabbing pain on left side of chest and the whole left arm went cold and numb with pin and needles sensation all the way through to finger tips. Arm still hurts today. Do I really need to see a doctor, very tired today but apart from that I feel fine.
Hello, Thanks for the consult. Brief answer, Pain in the chest and numbness of arm after electric shock is due to muscular twitching. Detailed Explanation, 1. I read your query, and I am happy to help you. You mentioned that you had chest pain and numbness of arm after electric shock. 2. Due to muscular twitching during electric shock leads to shoulder pain and chest pain.3. Heart attack pain is usually retrosternal and there are no chances of heart attack unless the electric shock is strong4. Take mild muscle relaxant with anti inflammatory medicines. No need to worry. Hope this information helps you.
