Feeling of Electrical Shock

[kymrice24]

This is the second time this has happened to me.  I will get an instant feeling of an electrical shock in my head for a few seconds, and I immediately feel like I'm going to fall, and usually do.  I instantly look for something to grab on to.  The last time it happened, I had a cup of ice in my hand, and it was so strong, that I ending up dropping the cup and also falling, without my control.  It only lasts for a second or two, but I wish I could find out what is causing the electrical shock feeling in my head.  I've had two carpal tunnel surgeries on both hands, and constantly drop things if I use my hands normally, like anyone else.  I've had 6 back surgeries, including rods (which have been removed), and a fusion on two levels.  I also have a herniated disk or two in my neck.  Does anyone know or experienced this in their head?

This happens to my son often.  His move.  Sometimes legs, arms, hands, head.  He says you get used to them but they still always startle him.

I occasionally get what I call "lightning bolts" inside my head.  They're deep in the middle, maybe slightly to the right.  I asked my neurologist about it, and he just said,"Oh, that happens, sometimes".

I see you're new, here.  Welcome!
