What Causes Electrifying Sensation In The Head And Sudden Loss Of Vision?
I feel like an electrical charge goes off in my brain. That s the best way to explain it. I can feel it could E in waves, gradually getting stronger until I have I think is a seizure. I m not able to speak no matter how hard I try. My body tightens up and my vision goes black. It subsides after 10 - 20 seconds. I have had 3 in a row and sometimes 4 - 5 times a week.

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to epilepsy seizures. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical check up, an EEG and a brain MRI.
Some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels) are necessary too.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
