I had an electric shock yesterday via a wall plug, at the time the plug wasn't connected to the socket however am i ok?

Probably fine: I am guessing that the shock came with ordinary house current on your hand. If it was momentary, and you do not see a burn on the part that got the shock, then you should be fine. Hopefully the current did not pass through your body to a grounded area on another part of the body.
