What Causes Shock Sensation In Hand With Sweating Breath And Tightness In Chest?

Was driving today, and for the 3rd time in 3 months, I got what felt like a cattle prod shock about 2 inches under my right nipple then down my right arm to my hand. Lost control of my truck for an instant. It scared the crap out of me. Instant sweating, lost of breath and tight chest. it all went away as fast as it came. Another shock, (only half as strong) came back 2 mins. later. I ve had a full heart and blood workup. All showing very good. I can almost expect this now once a month. Interestingly....it s only happened when I m in a sitting position. I am 120lbs over weight and currently preparing for gastric sleeve surgery.

Morbid obesity with tightness of chest cardiac workup is must. I would suggest to get coronary angiography done before going for gastric sleeve surgery.
