More and more, I’m fearing that this is it…that it’s all in my head, or body…and nothing actually outside of it.
It hasn’t happened for awhile, not since I moved my bed, although there are times (about two weeks ago) when I’ll feel minor things, including something I can only describe as a constant, regular, inflow of twitches and mini-electric-like feelings jolting my body. Doesn’t happen when I’m sitting up or standing, only when I’m laying down and only on my bed.
I meant to ask ages ago if the people below got a ceiling fan installed in the last three or four months but I keep forgetting and haven’t been up to the office in about half a year.
But yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m starting to wonder if it’s just some kind of sleep disorder or nerve damage or what not like what was suggested in here…
…if that was the case, though, why doesn’t it happen all the time? Why only once or twice every month or two? You’d think it’d be more regular if it was a body issue or nerve thing…
Thank you, all, for keeping this bumped every so often, still trying to figure it out, and showing concern for it. Monday, for sure, I’m going to the office and asking about it.
I don’t know…the two times it happened my body was not tuning down…once was after a full nights rest, as dawn was breaking. My whole arm felt like what it feels like when an electric shock passes through it…it was unmistakeable, because I’ve had many shocks before. If it is nerves and the like, it’s very realistic.
No cloth is on my mattress. I don’t sleep wearing anything, nor do I use a cover sheet. It’s just the bare mattress, with a deep, body-like, indentation that I have no doubt makes me close to touching the metal springs in the bed.
Does this make it more possible/probable I’m getting shocked via my bed, somehow, sometimes, by something?
Again, whatever it is, it only happens every so often, like once a month…if that…sometimes once every other month. That’s only when it’s a major shock that HURTS. Other times, more often (like once every two weeks or so), I have that feeling I said two posts up: Like my whole bed is activated by a live, electirc somthing. Makes my body thrumb, although it doesn’t hurt, per se…it IS unpleasant feeling. It makes me twitch and do regular motions like lifting my arm up and down constantly in my bed. Sort of like giving me extremely high doses of energy…all while feeling little, tiny jolts.
When I get off the bed and sleep on the ground, it stops. Immediately. If it were nerve damage or restless leg/body syndrome, why wouldn’t it keep up? It’s only when I sleep in the now moved bed. Never anywhere else, never any time.
I really think there’s just some sort of an electrical current running through that room somehow, and it’s accessing my mattress, no matter where it is in the room.
If it’s possible to lift up the carpet and take a look under the circular indentation, do that, or check with the neighbours about the ceiling fan. Otherwise, considering all the other steps you’ve taken, it might be time to visit your doctor.
while electrical problems can be intermittent, i would think they would be more frequent than once a month or couple weeks. also all the circumstances for electrical to be the cause (ceiling fan below above the ceiling, bed springs touching) are all real long shots to be true.
nerve problems are probably more likely. i’ve had nerve twinges and pains that feel like actual electric shocks. these can likely be circumstantial, your body has to be in just the right position, limbs and muscles positioned just the right way to put pressure on a nerve.
a doctor may be able to tell you how it might be possible for that to happen from nerves.
I’ve had occasonally. Maybe three times in the past year. It would happen in my shoulder. Just like a single shock. So it doesn’t have to be often. I haven’t had it in a while, possibly because I’ve been taking mineral/vitamin supplements daily.
Instantly? I dunno. I’ve had really annoying cases of pins-and-needles (which I’ve also not had in a while), but those take a while to stop after I reposition myself.
Why don’t you start a new thread with a title about nerves and see if there are people on here who know more about neurology than we do. (And post the link, btw.)
We’ve gone about as far as we can go on a message board to diagnose this problem. There are two hypotheses: a nerve condition and bad wiring. If the problem is the latter, it could kill you. You need to get someone with a voltmeter into your apartment ASAP to see whether it’s the wiring. If it isn’t the wiring, you need to see a doctor.
I’m talking about the cloth or fabric covering your mattress. Unless the cloth is wet household current is not going to be anywhere near strong enough to penetrate matress fabric.
Maybe the indentation you sleep in contributes to the nerve problems, if that’s what it is. You could try flipping the mattress over or around, so you’re not in a body-shaped hole.
Man, that’s pretty clever. Pick out a good, but uncommon keyword phrase. Optimize to first-place on Google. Spam the keywords, but have no links. Even make it look like a somewhat reasonable reply. But damn, those sites are UGLY. What the hell, they went overbudget on all the spamming or something? And what is the site for? How does it make money?
I feel electric shock through heart while lying on my mattress (which is placed on a Tatami-like wooden/plastic platform above wooden floor, the platform is connected to wall by steel bars, and the wooden floor covers all cement ground). Before the shock, I can feel that high-frequency vibration moves near to me and suspend at some point of my mattress and lasts for a while, then the shock happens.
This problem bothers me a lot.
I searched Internet and find another two similar cases:
OMG! My bed just started shocking me tonight. When I press down to sit on it, I can literally see light flashes at the springs. I believe, I’ve located the problem.
Phone charger. Ive unplugged everything in the sockets around the bed and pulled the bed away from the walls. My phone is charging across the room. Wish me luck.
Can you please lmk what changes you did and ifit helped because I am facing simular issues when i go to bed at night and I’m losing my mind! Please assist me with whatever you have learned. I’m shocked I actually found someone with something simular going on. I have a sleep number with a integrated air pump in the box spring with a metal bed frame. PLEASE HELP!
