Electrocution From Anything Touched. Why Is This Happening?

I get electric shocks from almost everything I touch, from touching my kids,cats,fire place and has even happened when I have gone to wash up a plastic cup full of water. I'm getting scared to touch things as they seem to be getting stronger. It has always been a problem but we all thought it was funny yrs ago as they weren't that strong and only happened sometimes when I touched my kids but now its got so much worse and it happens anywhere and everywhere. I have had two strong electric shocks before but not enough to go to hospital and they were over 20 yrs ago
What is it? Please

Hello,
Thanks for using health care magic for posting your query.
The phenomena that you are describing occurs when there is a static energy that is developing in you. it could be due to rubbing of your body to the garments that you are wearing. It occurs more common if you are wearing woolen garments. Try changing your undergarments for a few days to a differnt fabric.
Your electric shock that occurred more than 20 years before may not have anything to do with this problem.
Hope I am able to help you,
Thanks and regards
