Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Electric current passes through blood and creates an ionic imbalance.
this leads to weakness and feeling of uncomfort.
no treatment is required if she is stable.
symptomatic treatment is the only thing that can be done.
Best is to meet a physician as she also has palpitations.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
