What Could Be Done After Getting Shock ?
My son was at school yesterday and got a huge shock from him desk when he touched it (so loud that the teacher at the front of the room heard it). He then said he felt like he had a 20 lb. weight on his chest and developed a headached for about 40 minutes. Should be be concerned?

Hi,
How old is your son .
Usually post shock if all symptoms disappear there will be complete recovery without any problems.
Now since your son has no problem, he will be alright. If any local injury or any other symptoms develops then get back to us or consult your doctor.
Since this happened in school, take the necessary precautions for this not to happen again.
Regards
