What Causes Electric Shock Type Sensation All Over The Body?
my daughter experienced an odd thing today. She fainted and says that just before she went down that it felt like an electric shock through her arms and then the rest of her body and then she lost conciousness for a short time. When she woke up her teeth were chattering and she had a headache and didn t know what happened

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is good to know that she did not have any tremors and recovered in a short time. She may have some general health weakness. Low BP many a times causes fainting attacks. Let her get a general examination done in ER, you should get blood tests done so that anemia is ruled out. She needs some vitamin supplements & health tonic. But if she experiences another fainting attack, you should get an MRI done.
Hope I have answered your query.
take care.
Regards,
Dr Nupur K
