I experienced an electric shock from a computer by touching an open piece of metal on the inside of the unit while it was powered on. The power supply is 500 watts and is plugged into a regular outlet. I am experiencing a headache along with vision impairment. My mom seems to think I m fine but I m in pain and just woke up from shortness of breath. I am extremely concerned and need confirmation to receive medical attention.
Less than 1000v injury is usually considered as low voltage injury. But might cause electrical disturbances of your heart rhythm. So get an immediate ECG and seek advice from doctor. Arrhythmias- electrical disturbance usually presents with syncope, headache and breathing difficulty. If an ECG is normal then u can relax, where in case your symptoms are transient secondary to sudden passage of electrical energy through your body.
