How to deal with tingling sensation in arm after electric shock?
Patient: About an hour ago I had an incredibly small shock from the mains. There was no burn of any sort and I withdrew my hand quickly. It didn't feel like much more than a small static shock,  but since then my arm has tingled a lot. I'm worried about my heart - I don't know how I would spot any arrhythmia as it is naturally ectopic. Should I be worried about this or does that only apply to shocks with burns, longer duration, physical jolts etc? I live in the UK. Other than the tingling arm there are no noticeable physical symptoms. Thank you. Doctor: Welcome to HCM,Hello,as you have sustained minor shock there is nothing to worry about ,the tingling sensation will disappear in a few days ,you can spot arrhythmia if you are felling your heart beat aloud ,sudden skip of beat,to rule out any other problem visit a physician who may advice you an ECG if required For now you can drink lots of water as there may be dehydration and relaxThanksRegardsDr.Krupa
