Felt Electric Shock When Raised Arm Near Thermostat, Fainted. Had Body Shaking. CT Scan Normal. Have RA And Colitis

went to turn up the air conditioning as i was standing there felt like i was going to faint. Raised my arm to the thermostat and felt something like an electrical shock above my eye on forehead. NEXT found myself on the floor on my backside with my arms, legs and whole body shaking. Went to walk-in dr (my DR on vacation) had a CT scan of my head. They said it was ok. I have RA and ulcerated colitis. Have to see my own dr. next week. Did i have a seizure?

Hi, there could be an electric shock to your hand probably due to short circuit in that place of your touch.
Any how there is nothing like head injury according to the attending doctor. The seizure may not be a cause but it may be syncope, due to some reason. Thank you.
