Shocks through out my whole body?

[HitShane]

Nicotine causes circulatory problems. I would see a doctor. My step father just had a triple bypass and they blamed nicotine and a sedentary lifestyle. He was a truck owner/operator for 15 years... He is now on a heart waiting list and they drug test him for nicotine. If he keeps smoking they wont even keep him on the list... I'm using vaping to quit nicotine completely. Want to step myself down as much as possible...

sounds like a pinched nerve....

This thread has been interesting, and an eye opener. I have had some of the cited symptoms for many years.
I have always hesitated discussing them with my doctor because I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac.

Nerve problems from the brain all the way on down to the bottom of the spinal cord can cause really strange things anywhere. I have issues in my neck but sometimes get symptoms in my right foot that feels like I'm standing on a machine that's running/humming...drives me nuts. Or a few finger tips will tingle, lots of strange things. A neurologist will be very familiar with these things and won't think your crazy or anything. I was worried about that too.

The reboot comment struck me. I never dared utter that in front of a doctor, but - I get that. It feels like my whole "electrical system" shuts down for a second and then powers back up.

Feeling any kind of shock running down your body could be a very very bad thing. It could be neurological in nature, it could be the nicotine, it could be some form of contamination in your e-liquid or vaping gear.

See a doctor as soon as you can schedule an appointment. If there is no diagnosis try 0 nic juice and see if it still happens to rule out the nicotine.

If you were having a problem such as a pinched nerve or spinal issue it could be aggravated by a deep inhale, but it wouldn't be my first guess.

If there is any weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath or change in mental status seek immediate emergency care.

There is no point in trying to further diagnose things here on a forum. See a doctor.

I don't think the OP or anyone else who asks questions like these are trying to self diagnose per say. Hey, we all made a major lifestyle change and then had a physical 'occurrence' unlike anything previously experienced. It is quite common and logical to question if the lifestyle change could be related in some way.
I for one have had what I vape affect the symptoms of an infection that was not related to or caused by vaping, but changing what I vaped exposed the infection for what it was.

+1 for getting the Dr appt, good luck and let is know how this turns out and especially if they feel vaping and or nicotine is involved.

Alrighty then.

The OP got some good suggestions, one super snarky response, confirmation that he is not alone, and some more snark.

The snark needs to stop.

But...I didn't get to snark. I had a good one about confusing vaping with touching special places that feel like a sneeze, only better through your whole body. Now I have to just put it away for another time.
