Treatment for electric shock like feeling after drinking.

Resolved Question:

Hi,
I'm a 19 year old male and just had a big weekend and drank a fair bit more than the usual weekend. Anyway I woke up after it and i kept getting these electric shock type feelings through my body, sometimes really bad others just more of a tingle shock feeling but only today, 3 days later I figured out what causes it. When ever I look left and right it brings on this electric shock. It goes through my entire body and it's very in pleasant. I started antibiotics just a few days ago about the same time as it started happening and am also on a few other indigestion tablets and have an inhaler. Any idea what could be cause this?
Cheers

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com

I have noted your symptoms. They are suggestive of mild involvement of spinal cord or nerves. The most likely underlying cause could be vitamin B 12 deficiency or a pinched nerve in the neck. The vitamin b12 deficiency could have been triggered by excess alcohol ingestion.

You can start vitamin B 12 supplements. Pregabalin capsules may also be taken to reduce the electric shock like sensations.

I hope it helps.
Feel free to discuss further,

Best wishes,
