What causes a quick electrical feeling in my wrist that causes my hand to jerk? it's on the left side only

Nerve irritation: Pressure or irritation of a nerve can result in this type of electrical feeling. When it occurs in the wrist it is often due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Try a wrist splint. If that doesn't help et it checked out.
