FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING A LIGHT SHOCK FROM MY HEART SHOOTING TO MY HEAD AND WHOLE BODY, EKG IS FINE. WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THIS? PANIC ATTACK?


High anxiety episodes can precipitate shallow breaths and hyperventilation.  This causes a sensation of chest tightness and paresthesias in one’s extremities (numbness, tingling).  This certainly could account for your symptoms.  Oftentimes this will occur with a “sense of dread” as well as the discomfort.
