Long-term effects of 230V electric shock

I warmly welcome.

I know that there are a lot of topics of this type, but I decided to ask about my problem for confirmation.

The case is as follows.
The day before Christmas Eve (23/12 around 12) I was shocked by 230V electricity (Christmas tree lamps from the times of the Polish People's Republic, an ordinary plug into the socket, hence the conclusion that such a current was flowing in them) at the beginning I had a slight shock followed by euphoria. A slight heartache over time. Generally, because of the holidays, I ignored it, because if it's okay, the pain will probably go away, but I was wrong. On Christmas Eve I normally felt zero problems Today my heart stings a bit again for about 30 minutes ...

And I have a question for you, could something have happened to me? Is it just the body telling itself this (after being paralyzed, when I entered the net and started to read what was a threat, I felt it automatically, e.g. I wrote that my eyesight was dull and I felt it Oo and when I forget about my fiancée being ) I don't feel anything) So maybe the body is telling itself this? Which doctor to go to? Wait for the family or go to the emergency room right away.

Short info to bring the matter closer:
Current: Probably 230V
Way of flow: Hand - Hand (that's exactly how I had 1 part of the cable in one hand and the other with the other. I closed the circuit with myself)
Time: Approximately 2-3 seconds
Additional: I was in flip-flops (foam-like material so soft) and I was standing on the panels. Disconnect me from the electricity, nobody disconnected, somehow I threw the cable away myself.

From what I read with this current, I shouldn't have been able to throw out the cable due to muscle contraction, somehow I managed to do it.

I will be very grateful for your help and golden advice

I will say this. I have been flopped more than once due to the fact that I am an electrician, but never longer than a fraction of a second. so I never went to the doctor with it, but if I had 3 seconds, I would have had a checkup on the same day.

Exactly. Browse texts from a year ago, such topics appear every year.

What problem are you going to the emergency room and they'll get you on an EKG.

So, an electric shock on the occasion of Christmas should be included among the attractions and holiday euphoria?

Since you came out of it yourself, nothing should happen. But no one knows what your health was before being paralyzed. 2-3 seconds is quite a long time. Perhaps, by the way, it caused some kind of trauma that had not occurred before? Maybe it is a coincidence and with abundant food some ailments come out?
By the way - take it easy for 2-3 seconds. It's a lot of time.

If you do not get over it, check it with a doctor. The EKG should show something. In any case, do not underestimate the symptoms. Whether it was after paralysis or by the way - any non-normal symptom would fit to be checked.

Hello

The causative factor is the magnitude of the current intensity (measured in mA), the duration and the path of the shock current flow.

Unfortunately, even a doctor is not able to remotely, via the Internet, assess what damage to the body was caused by a given event and what medications should be taken.

I remembered one incident in a friendly company, when an employee was electrocuted using a faulty welding machine. The time of electrocution was also a few seconds. The peculiarity was that the employee felt reasonably well after the incident itself. Unfortunately, the next day (24 hours after the incident) he fainted. He spent the following days in the hospital. I don't remember exactly how much time he spent there, but he was there for at least a week.

Therefore, if I have something to advise you, I should report to the GP as soon as possible. As POZ clinics are just starting to work on Monday, you should take advantage of the so-called "Evening and Christmas Medical Assistance" - I think that's what it is called and report there as soon as possible (today or tomorrow morning). I cannot imagine that an ECG would not have been performed during the visit to assess possible heart damage.

I'm pretty sure everything will be fine, but for "inner peace" you should do it.

Not. As a product of the imagination of bored junior high school students.

Assume it for the future. I recommend the RCD to everyone

@muzimuzi RCD will do nothing if you connect to phase and neutral.

The residual current device can be installed when you can, not when and how you want.

Honestly, I don't know because I think it could have been just 2-3 seconds. But on the other hand a strange feeling, I didn't know what was going on so it could only be an impulse and I think it lasted a long time :)

But okay, thanks for the advice, I'm going to see a doctor

How did you measure it? If it's a "feeling" then believe me - a second, it's a veeeeery long time!

There is also a frequency condition.
In the event of shock at 50 Hz, it may "superimpose" the heart rate and "turn it off" or, otherwise, cause ventricular fibrillation. Such a desynchronization does not have to work immediately, it can happen after an hour, a day, a week (what I remember is a disturbance between the T and Q segments on the ECG).

The best way to eliminate this type of suspicion is ... to check the EKG.
The author should visit a DOCTOR (preferably a cardiologist) and not tinker on the forum.
I close.
