Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had electric shock, yesterday, and you feel weak today.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have an infusion of fluids for weakness.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms nuerotropic injections for 10 consecutive days and then periodically. supplements of calcium, vitamin D, and pain killers when needed.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
