Your strange symptoms (painful electrical
shocks all through your body) could be due
to an anxiety disorder. Conditions like
depression and IBS from the list of
pre-existing conditions confirm that
possibility. There is no organic disorder
that can cause such “painful electrical
shocks all through your body”. Some
anxiety disorders can be manifested with
strange symptoms or can imitate the
symptoms of real organic disorders.
