Why do I get Electric Shock Sensations in my Body? #dysautonomia #pots #neckinjury #concussion

A common symptom that many people experience is sensations of electric shocks or zapping feelings running through the body, especially in the arms, legs, and head. This phenomenon was first described in the 1920s and is often associated with issues in the cervical spinal cord, such as compression, inflammation, or demyelination. A common test that can be done to reproduce this sensation includes a full neck flexion and leg extension, which will stretch the spinal cord. Conditions like bone spurs, bulging discs, or spinal instability can cause the spinal cord to be crowded and lead to these electric shock sensations.

I've been feeling these types of brain buzzes for years. Sometimes, I feel like I can hear them! Almost like a fairy wand with buzz. That probably sounds weird, but it's the best I can describe the sound.
In my teens, the shocks were so profound, on either the left or right side of the back of my head, that those would result in a painful head pain, not headache, for hours after. I was tested for epilepsy in the late 80s, but no diagnosis was given. The docs said I had anemia and that is why I received the shocks. I am 54 now, and awoke to the lighter, gentler version of the buzz. I do take B12 injections every two weeks because I don't make them. Have no idea if that is related, but just thought I'd share.

This has helped so much. Having their problem and gave me some peace of mind. Now adjust my head around and it stops

Thanks for covering this. I asked my dr about this and got nothing but a blank stare. Its not really scarry, but can be very difficult to tolerate.

This happened when I stopped taking my SNRI (against medical advice). It was part of the withdrawal symptoms, and the zaps lasted for at least a couple of weeks. It was awful.

I would get the sensation of a mild electric shock going up my spine from the lumbar vertebrae when riding motorcycle with my husband! From mild electric shock, it progressed to not being able to feel my legs at all, no matter what I was doing. I could walk, but couldn't feel myself walking. Turns out, I had a triple problem in the L4-5 vertebrae: congenital narrowing of the spinal cord, scoliosis, and degenerative arthritis. I ended up with a laminectomy and spinal fusion.

I had neurotoxicity and doctors were trying to patch up symptoms with benzos and Gabapentin. I actually reacted super poorly to those and was having more issues. I ended up stopping them and life got back to normal other than for severe headaches and neck pain. One day, I thought I was ok to go for a hike. After the hike I felt odd. My hands had little tremors and I felt like my nervous system was unhappy. I went to bed and that night my friends was the most terrifying night of my life. I can barely describe the experience. I literally felt and saw electricity going through my body from brain to spine and then in limbs and I awoke with racing heart and SOB with all joint popping and cracking and drenched in sweat. I was dehydrated, had acid base disturbance and I had loss connective tissues and muscle tone overnight. If anyone is able to tell me what happened, it would mean the world. I have been terribly ill since. I have developed EDS MCAS POTS CCI SFN and others. I still don't understand wtf happened that night.

For it was few times when I was just laying down, going to sleep and then it was one single twitch, like I was defibrillated. And I'm wonder still Wtf was that and only hope that it is nothing srs

I have been experiencing this. I work in manufacturing and as a result have had many back and neck issues. In 6'4" and am required to do lots of hunching and contorting. The feeling to me is the weirdest sensation and happen frequently. I actually enjoy the feel. It can be a bit of a scare when walking like whether or not I might fall out but overall the tingle feels quite good. Idk if my condition is the same as being discussed but I feel like it is very similar

[timelessness]

It literally felt like I got zapped by a cattle prod in the back of my neck. My arms and legs shot out from the shock.
It was scary.

I get this when I’m sleeping. Wakes me up and freaks me out. Feels like my heart is even getting shocked. I’m going to try to change my sleep position but I’m always in a ball. I do have severe advanced arthritis of the spine with spurs and my neck has very little curvature left.

Nurses overdosed me in the hospital once ..it was a red vial of liquid supposedly a mood stabilizer- for depressoin - i felt like i was being electrocuted alive- and i am not exaggerating- the pain !! the mental torment !! the convulsions were minor - but it felt like i was in an electric chair with the volume all the way up- i wasn't sure. i was going to live- i drank copious amounts of water to vomit which worked but it took an hour....I wish I knew what happened...my body was not convulsing very much that i noticed ...?

I came across you while looking up hypnic jerk. I was excited to find the title of your youtube subject! I have told several doctors of this problem. But none knew what I was talking about. More importantly, is the constant, unending Buzzing that runs through my head. I have had this for at least 30 years. Twice the buzzing went absolutely quiet. The last time was about 3-4 years ago. I thought I lost my hearing. Shortly, I realized the Buzzing sound stopped. I was so excited. I'd forgotten the sound of silence. The reprieve lasted a very short time. And before I knew it, the sound came back to full sound. No doctor could explain my long and constant Buzzing. One of my family physicians asked me if I also heard voices. I stopped going to him after that. This is a mystery that is yet to be solved.
