Hello,
This is Dr Adil,
Thanks for choosing HCM for seeking help.

Electric shock, may affect the heart and brain activity. Because heart and brain have their own electric potentials and voltage that help them to perform their function effectively.

When an external shock is applied to the body, either it's accidental or therapeutic, it affects the electrical activity of heart and may also of brain. and it may disturb the heart rate and rhythm.

If all of these symptoms appear after the electric shock, then i suggest you to see a doctor and have your full examination, and your doctor may run some tests also.

I wish you well.
Feel free to ask more questions.
