Question 1

electric shock symptoms ?

Accepted Answer

Very safe : I do electro convulsive shock treatment/ect for treating mostly severe depression. It is a very safe treatment and has rare side effects... Headache or some body aches and pains etc. Some  memory loss but it comes back. It is costly and does not last long, but can pull you out of severe depression for a year or so.

NERVE IRRITATION : Above most likely depending onlocation. Anxiety rare caue. Pcp or nerologist can do tests to verify esp EMG and ncv.

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: See your Family Doctor, chiropractor or an urgent care to get relief. Most pinched nerves can heal on their own but you should watch for any weakness in the legs.

Question 5

hello like to know what is electric shock therapy?

Accepted Answer

Depression: For severe and refractory depression ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) can be an effective treatment. Basically, after being given an anesthetic, electric current is given which causes a brief seizure. This sounds barbaric, but in fact it often reboots the brain relieving major depression.

Question 6

what exactly does electric shock do to your muscles?

Accepted Answer

Muscles: Shocks: At low energy levels, electric shocks stimulate the individual muscle cells to twitch singly. At medium energy levels, the muscle cells contract as a group within a muscle bundle. At high energy levels, the whole muscle group will contract. Excessive energy will damage the muscle and release proteins that can cause kidney failure.

Question 7

what could cause electric shock feeling in the head?

Accepted Answer

Neuritis: You could have what is commonly called "a pinched nerve" in your neck. I assume that you do not have any other complaints like dizziness, visual problem, tremor or severe headache. It would be wise to make an appointment with a neurologist and let him/her check you out.

Question 8

why are you knocked unconscious during an electric shock?

Accepted Answer

Heart or Brain hurt: Electricity may knock you out by stopping the heart or making your blood pressure so low you faint.
If the electricity goes through the brain, it can directly cause unconsciousness by disrupting normal activity of the nerves.

Question 9

what can cause electric shock-like sensations on my face?

Accepted Answer

Trigeminal Neuralgia: This affliction can cause great grief for many of its sufferers. The facial nerves run in front of your ear, and when irritated they cause excruciating pain in the side of the face. We don't know all the different ways this nerve can be irritated or stimulated. It has been said that a brush of wind can cause the symptoms. The pain is described as lancinating but brief. Talk to your doctor about treatment options.
