hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Basically any form of electric shock can produce disturbances of heart rhythm ,sometimes serious.But it gives instant result .so it is like all or none effect.so in your case your compliants are due to affect of chest wall muscle and muscles of hand.
nothing to worry for heart after few hours.
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
