Does Electric Shock From A Cooking Grill Requires Attention?
hi. I got electrocuted at work the other day from a cooking grill that had a frayed cord. My arm hurt for the rest of the day after it happened. And my eyes look like they have dark circles under them. I also feel kind of nervous and gittyery but I think that might be because I am paranoid that something is wrong. Do you think I am okay? I seem to be able to function okay though maybe my mind is a bit on edge or something. Do you think I should go in to see a doctor?

hi
if i was your treating doctor then electric shock needs attention and i would have subjected you to an EKG and also for some electrolytes. if those tests are normal then there is no need to fear and you are alright.
if there are any abnormalities then treatment depends on the type of abnormalities.
so my advice is to consult a doctor.
