So last night I received two electric shocks from an old washing machine. It was not enough to throw me or to knock me out but I felt a jolt in my hand and a little bit up my arm. I felt strange afterwards and went to bed (I was going to bed anyway when it happened) and woke up this morning with a really bad headache. I have taken a couple of paracetamol/acetaminophen tablets but after an hour I still have the headache. Should I be worried that the electric shock and this are related and should I be worried it may be related to my E?

I think you should go for a check up just to ease your mind and make sure that everything is ok. It is far better to make an 'unnecessary' trip to the doctor than to leave it and something not be right. Better to be safe than sorry. Take care and I hope your headache eases soon.

It's probably only tangentially related -- your nerves may be a little more sensitive than those of someone without epilepsy. But go ahead and give your doc a call. And if your headache doesn't go away or gets worse, call again.
