What Is The Reason For Feeling Of An Electrical Shock Going Through The Body While Coughing And Sneezing?
When I gag cough or sneeze I have a feeling like an electrical shock going through my body and down my arms and legs and it takes a minute for me to move. And it hurts for several minutes afterwards. It just started yesterday but continuing today when I cough or sneeze.

hi,
When one coughs or sneezes forcefully,Comlete body has equally forceful jerk. This stimulates the nerves supplying hands/legs & prduces feeling of electrical shock in extremities
Try to cough/sneeze gently.
Vitamin B12 supplements will reduce the nerve weakness.
Thanks.
