Electric Shock
On Saturday night 8th April I was walking in market and unfortunately my head was touched with a naked hanging wire and got a electric shock and I felt current for few moments and felt dizzy and head rapid heart beat over an hour which got subsided when I went to sleep. Next day Sunday 9th was very much okay. On Monday evening I started having Lightheaded and nauseated again which caused rapid heartbeats and today I also feeling lightheaded, weakness in legs and nausea. Is it due to electric Shock ? I take metropolol and Olimsartan for my Rapid heart beats and Blood Pressure. ( I had coronary Angiography 2 months back which was normal) I was having this dizzy episodes for almost a month before I got electric shock but I feel these frequency got increased after I had a momentary shock. Or I'm just being anxious ? Or it is something serious sort nervous systems damage or any dangerous arrhythmia?
