????? "Brain Zaps": I am not sure what you mean by this term. It sounds like this is some type of neurologic symptom that you are having, and if you have not had a thorough review by a neurologist, that would be a good place to start. Some problems are not meant to be solved by typing the limited number of characters that is possible in this online forum.
